METHOD:
Chocolate Cake:
-
Preheat the oven to 170°C. Grease a 20 cm loaf tin with butter and line with baking paper.

In a large bowl whisk together the eggs and brown sugar until smooth and slightly pale.

Add the melted butter, milk and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

In a separate bowl combine the Nomad Classic Hot Chocolate, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir well to remove any lumps.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin. The batter will be smooth and pourable.
-
Place into the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, until the cake is springy to the touch and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
-
Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chocolate Glaze:
-
Place the icing sugar and Nomad Classic Hot Chocolate in a bowl.

Add milk gradually and stir until you achieve a smooth, pourable glaze.
