Where to find ingredients
Most essentials like eggs, milk, sugar, and flour are available in the dairy, pantry, or baking aisles of your local supermarket. Sweetened condensed milk is found in the canned goods or baking aisle. Cornflour (often labeled as maize starch) is typically shelved with the other flours or baking aids. For the chocolate, choose a good quality block from the confectionery aisle—avoid standard chocolate chips if possible, as chopping a block ensures a better melt and flavor distribution.
Preparation method
- Start by preheating your oven to 180°C
- Add the eggs, milk, condensed milk, sugar, margarine, flour, cornflour, and baking powder into your blender and blitz until you have a perfectly smooth, uniform batter
- Prepare a 22cm cake tin by lightly greasing it with a little extra margarine to prevent sticking
- Pour only half of the batter into the tin, then evenly distribute the chopped chocolate over the surface
- Cover the chocolate layer by pouring the remaining batter over the top
- Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden, set, and springs back when lightly pressed
- Take it out of the oven, let it cool slightly in the tin, then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack before serving
Observations
This is a brilliantly simple recipe, ideal for when you want a homemade treat but are short on time. By whipping everything up in the blender, you get a consistently smooth batter, while the secret addition of condensed milk gives the crumb a unique, luxurious texture and just the right amount of sweetness.
