No-Waste Easter Traybake
Recipe by: FAB Flour’ s Easy Peasy Baking campaign, fabflour. co. uk
Serves: 12
Ingredients:
• 175g self-raising flour
• 150g sugar( caster, light brown or granulated)
• 50g cocoa powder
• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 150ml vegetable oil
• 300ml double cream
• 2 eggs
• Leftover Easter chocolate, broken into pieces- you will need 300g of chocolate( hollow eggs etc.) for the topping, plus whatever else you have for decoration.
Method:
1. Preheat your oven to 160 ° C( fan).
2. In the large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder and bicarbonate of soda with the whisk, ensuring that there are no lumps.
3. Add in the vegetable oil, 150ml of double cream and eggs. Whisk everything together until you have a smooth batter.
4. Pour the batter into a 20cm x 30cm lined traybake tin and spread evenly before placing in the oven to bake for 25-30 minutes. It should be springy to touch in the centre.
5. Allow the sponge to cool completely. In the meantime, prepare the topping by heating the remaining double cream in a saucepan, being careful not to boil it.
6. Place 300g of broken up chocolate into a mixing bowl and pour the hot cream over the top. Leave to sit for a few minutes before mixing to incorporate thoroughly. Set to one side to thicken while the sponge cools.
7. Once the sponge has cooled, remove it from the tin, spread the chocolate topping evenly over the top and decorate with whatever leftover Easter chocolate you have.
