Now dont forget the jam!!! and you might well need some more butter about 75g is perfect and 185g iceing sugar...

Never mind Ramsay's live cookalong, we could have a live mse cookalong:rotfl:

Here it is

Sunken choclate cake or cloud cake

225g butter
225g 70% coco Chocolate plain or dark ( Not Milk)
50g Ground almons
60g Plain Flour
6 medium eggs room temp
50g light soft brown sugar
175g caster sugar
icing sugar to dust and double cream to serve

1. Pre heat oven to 180C, grease dust 20cm clip sided cake, (lose bottom worked fine for me).
2. but the butter and cholate broken into pieces into heatproof bowl rest over pan of barley simmering water. Leave to melt then stir till smooth and then remove from heat.
3.Sift together the ground almonds and flour, seperate the eggs into two large bowls
Add the light brown sugar to the egg yolks and whisk till light and creamy, gently fold in the melted chocolate mix folllowed by the almond and flour mix.
4.Whisk the egg whites to form soft peaks, then add the caster sugar little at a time.
Fold into the rest of the cake mix with a large metal spoon, pour mix into tin and bake for 50min, or untill a skewer comes out just slighty wet.

This cake is best slightly under cooked and will continue to cooking while cooling so dont panick about it being to wet in the middle.
Remove from Tin and it will crack and slighly dip in the middle its ment to!!
you can then either fill with lightly whiped cream and dust with coco powder (Cloud Cake)or
just dust with icing sugar or coco powder and serve with either vinilla ice cream or double cream poured over the top.



Sorry about any spelling mistakes!!
I make a lot of cakes and I have to say this one is always the first to get demloshed when all the family over. !!:D
I love Gorden, and all the other top cooks,I nver miss a cooking program, I really want to eat at the fat duck, Iam food obbssed always have been, my mum was such a bad cook I started to cook my own food when I was quite young..
