Tried and tested: Anita's Bomb!

Earlier this week I tried out Anita's chocolate cake and I tell you - it is a BOMB!
Very delicious and moorish, and very dangerously packed with calories.

I made it using only 1/4 of the measurements.
Not that it makes in any less calori rich, but at least there is less cake!
Still, a big cake!

Below is the recipe in English
- you find it in Norwegian on her blog as well as a picture of it.
It never made it to a picture in our house... 

800 grams butter
16 dl sugar
8 dl flour
8 tsp vanilla sugar (omit if you don't have it)
20 tsb cocoa
12 eggs

Mix the dry ingredients, melt the butter and add the eggs.
Very simple.

Then chop up 4 packs of baking chocolate and poke it in the dough. This is a BIG recipe so ensure your baking tray is big enough.
200 degrees for 40-45 mins

  1. Looks yummy! At the end, do you use extra chocolate (as opposed to the original 20 tbsp cocoa)? What about adding lavender too?! BTW your mango salad recipe was great too ... we had it with BBQ chicken breasts a couple of nights ago, and it worked wonderfully well. Thanks!

  3. Oh, Sarah - this cake is no joke. The chocolate is bars of cooking/baking chocolate IN ADDITION to the cocoa powder... ;-) These pieces become little "surprises" as you eat the cake. Yes, it is divine... Have not tried with lavender, but that works well with chocolate, though.

    Glad you tried and liked the mango salad - great favourite of mine! Such a surprise the flavours with the sharp onion, sweet mango and aromatic coriander.

  4. mmmmm.... :) Tenkte også å prøve denne.. Men blir litt utpå sommeren, denne ukene er jeg alene hjemme, mann og barn er på hytten! Det er sjelden vare det.. Jeg skal bare nyte og få unna endel prosekter tenkte jeg... Kanskje... :)

    Idag regner det, så kanske litt inneaktivitet i ettermiddag :)

    Nyt sommerdagene!

  5. HIhihihihi Må le litt da, har nettopp tatt en ny sånn kake ut av ovnen jeg da. Har hatt den med meg på hytta,og der var det virkelig mange som likte kaka mi. Elisabeth vet du var der med et vennepar. De har dreve Krigla bakreri i Tistedal. De kastet seg over kaka mi, og skrøt den opp i skyene. Det var jo gøy. Men den har fått nytt navn...Helsotårtan.... I dag har jeg bodd på kjøkkent baker opp og steker mat for mange dager på hytta. Så nå venter vi bare på sola. Ha en super helg Mette!
