Mint aero chocolate cake
Random bake as the Z’s wanted pudding and I had nothing to offer them so rustled this up!
I baked it in a square brownie tin ( so you may have to adjust quantities and timings for other size tins 😉)
10ozs marg
10 ozs sugar
5 eggs
1 teaspoon of peppermint extract
10 ozs of self raising flour
2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
Splash of milk
Aero mint chocolate ( balls or bars )
Pre heat oven to 150degress
Grease and line a baking tin
Cream the margarine and sugar together until light and fluffy
Add the peppermint extract and eggs and mix to combine
Add the flour and cocoa powder and fold gently
Add a splash of milk
Pour this mixture into the cake tin and bake for 45mins until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean
Whilst still warm randomly push pieces of aero into the top of the cake ( the heat from the sponge will melt the aero and flavour the cake
Once semi cool - melt some aero in a microwave and drizzle over the top and then sprinkle with crushed aero
