Nut & caramel chocolate cake


With a cake in the freezer and lollies in the pantry, it takes just minutes to make this decadent dessert.
Preparation Time 10 - 15 minutes


Ingredients (serves 8)
1 x 540g pkt frozen Sara Lee Chocolate Bavarian cake
1 x 300ml ctn thickened cream
1 x 50g bar Whittaker's Peanut Slab Milk Chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 x 50g pkt Werther's Original Classic Cream Candies, coarsely chopped
Woolworths Select Hard Set Chocolate Topping, to serve

Method
Remove the cake from the freezer. Use a balloon whisk or an electric beater to beat the cream in a bowl until firm peaks form. Combine the chocolate and candy in a bowl.
Spread the cream over the top of the cake. Top with the chocolate mixture. Cut into wedges and divide among serving plates. Drizzle over the chocolate topping. Set aside for 5 minutes to set. Serve.

Notes & tips
Don't thaw the cake. It's easier to decorate when frozen and this won't affect the flavour - it will taste like ice-cream cake.

Variations:
For a change, swap the topping for melted white chocolate in step 2.
Black forest chocolate cake: Omit the Whittaker's Peanut Slab and Werther's Original Classic Cream Candies. In step 2, arrange thawed frozen cherries on top of the cream.

How to?? Make a perfect sponge


The secret ingredient in light-and-fluffy sponge cakes is air. So, if you’ve ever had trouble creating this classic cake, just follow these easy tips to make it perfectly every time.
Tip 1: Baking is a science, so measure all of your ingredients carefully for best results. Sift your flour three times to aerate it and remove any lumps. This helps create a light sponge. Also make sure your eggs are at room temperature.

Tip 2: When you start beating the mixture, use electric beaters on high speed to create air pockets. Then, to keep it light and airy, reduce the speed to medium and beat for 5 minutes or until a ribbon trail forms when the beaters are lifted. Don't beat for too long, as this can cause the mixture to become thin and lose its volume and airiness. When adding dry ingredients, use a large metal spoon to gently fold the mixture until just combined. Don't use a wooden spoon - they're thick and heavy, and can cause the mixture to lose air.

Tip 3: Don't open the oven door while your sponge cake is baking, otherwise it can flop in the centre. When your sponge is cooked, it will come away from the sides of the pan, and spring back when touched lightly in the centre.

HOW TO??? (Crush Garlic)


Most home cooks use a crusher to prepare fresh garlic (and end up leaving a lot of the clove behind). Chefs, however, use a knife. This method produces a paste with an even consistency that distributes through the dish more easily.

Step 1: Place an unpeeled garlic clove on a plastic chopping board (a wooden chopping board absorbs the flavour of the garlic and you want to preserve that for the dish). Place the blade of a large, wide knife on top of the clove. Using the palm of your hand, press the blade down onto the clove, crushing it and splitting the skin.

Step 2: Peel the garlic clove and discard the skin. (The skin should come away easily. If it doesn't you may need to crush the clove further.) Use a sharp knife to roughly chop the garlic.

Step 3: Sprinkle the chopped garlic with a little salt. (The salt helps draw the moisture from the garlic, making it easier to crush. It also acts as an abrasive and prevents the garlic slipping out fromunder the knife.) Gently press down on the chopped garlic with the flat side of the knife and work the garlic into a smooth paste.
