Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 cup (200g) sugar
  • 1 cup (250ml) boiling water
  • 125g butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Bar-One Sauce Ingredients

  • 2–3 Bar-One bars (approx. 150g total), chopped
  • ½ cup (125ml) fresh cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 20cm (8-inch) round cake tin or line it with baking paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, which helps create a tender crumb.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
  4. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Sifting prevents lumps and ensures even distribution.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the boiling water. Mix gently until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  6. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for 30–35 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
  7. Cool the Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare Bar-One Sauce: In a saucepan over low heat, combine chopped Bar-One bars and fresh cream. Stir gently until the chocolate bars have fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Avoid boiling to prevent curdling.
  9. Assemble the Dessert: Once the cake is cooled, pour the warm Bar-One sauce generously over the top to coat it beautifully.
  10. Optional Decoration: Garnish with extra chopped Bar-One pieces, chocolate curls, or a dollop of whipped cream for added texture and presentation.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature eggs and butter.
  • Ensure the boiling water is added gradually to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely.
  • Do not boil the Bar-One sauce as it may separate or curdle.
  • Bar-One bars can be substituted with other caramel-chocolate bars if unavailable.
  • Serve the cake warm with vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
