Oje, I really need to work on my discipline in taking pictures of the food before it is eaten up. I only realized today after I distributed pieces of cake to everyone in the house already that I had not taken a picture yet.
The recipe is an adaption of the Ant Cake in the book Eating In - Delicious Home Cooking to Enjoy All Year Round. The original uses advocaat. I gave the recipe a South African Twist by replacing the advocaat with Amarula. For the non-South-Africans out there who don't know what Amarula is: it's a deliciously creamy liquor made from the marula fruit. A little bit like fruity-tasting Baileys. You can find some more information on Amarula here.
Amarula cake
Ingredients for 16 pieces:
200g butter, softened
175g castor sugar
3 eggs
225ml Amarula
250g self-raising flour sifted
100g milk chocolate, chopped into small pieces
Preparation:
1. Beat the butter and the sugar until creamy and the sugar is disolved.
2. Add one egg at a time with a tablespoon of flour each beating well after adding each egg.
3. Add the amarula and flour and combine well.
4. Stir in the chocolate pieces.
5. Fill the cake batter into a buttered ring tin and bake the cake for ca. 45 minutes in the preheated oven at 180 degrees.
