2020 Great British Bake Off - Chocolate Week
Chocolate = happiness at The Allergy Table. Whilst in my life it has been very difficult to find chocolate that is safe for me to eat, I have always found something. Luckily nowadays there are lots more chocolate companies to choose from, and they are delicious.
This week I only use cocoa powder, as every chocolate bar I had, had sugar in it. If you would like to make them more chocolatey or fudgy, I would suggest putting either NOMO or Gnawbles in the batter to get a creamier, chocolatey mug cake.
Signature:
Brownies
Technical:
Babka
Showstopper:
Three-tiered, white chocolate “celebration cake”
Ingredients
40g oat flour
15g maple syrup
1tsp vanilla extract
5g Chia seeds + 2 tsp water
5ml olive oil
50ml Oatly milk
35g banana
5g cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
Method
In a small bowl, add the chia and water together- mix. Keep aside for 1 mins to let it congeal.
Mash the banana with a fork in a separate bowl
Get your large based mug and add in flour, maple syrup, vanilla and stir.
Once that is mixed, add in the oil, milk, mashed banana, cocoa, baking powder, soda and cinnamon- mix really well so there aren't any clumps.
Add in the chia mix "egg" - mix into the batter.
Pop the mug in the oven for 2 minutes on high
The top should be a little runny and the cake should be spongy.
If you don't like it runny, microwve for 30secs each time to reach your desired consistency.
Add fruit/buttercream/whipped cream/sprinkles
“Flavours okay, textures are all wrong and the look is terrible; but besides that, brilliant. ”
Add white chocolate (Milkybar) for a creamier texture - not a 3 tier cake but close enough
