The simple chocolate cake recipe using only TWO ingredients – it’s sweet and you won’t even need to put it in the oven
WE all love a sweet treat, but when it comes to actually making one, many might not find it so appealing.
However, one foodie has revealed how it doesn’t have to be so complicated.
Anne-Claude shared a simple chocolate cake recipe using only TWO ingredients.
She posted a step-by-step video on her account ‘mamaninthecuisine’ showing exactly how to make the sweet treat.
Anne-Claude, who prides herself on sharing “simple and no faff recipes,” even revealed that you won’t need to put it in the oven.
She said all you need is 430g of carrots and 260g of dark chocolate.
The foodie started off by melting the dark chocolate in a glass bowl, before chopping up her carrots and boiling them until they were cooked through.
She then blends the cooked carrots and melted chocolate together before preparing a 20cm diameter cake tin.
Anne-Claude, who discovered the recipe from @LeRenardetlesRaisins, fills the cake tin with the mixture and then puts it in the fridge to chill for a couple of hours or overnight.
Speaking to her 4003 TikTok followers, she says: “It’s like a chocolate mousse cake.
“It is so good. You don’t taste the carrots, it’s very chocolatey. So delicious. Totally recommend that one.”
Anne-Claude’s video gained over 249k views, 11.8k likes and over 400 comments, as many people rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One wrote: “I’m going to make it right now! I’ll let you know.”
A second added: “Just made it and you honestly can’t even taste the carrots.
“It’s brilliant, a great way to give your kids pudding and actually get some veg down on them I’d say.”
To which Anne-Claude replied: “Exactly!! and if you have vegan friends coming round.”
Another also said: “I want to try it with an apple.”
Anne-Claude also mentioned in the comments section: “Someone said sweet potatoes, others are saying avocados but I haven’t tested those.”
How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…
Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for the supermarket’s own brand bars.
Shop around – if you’ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you’re getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers – supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they’ve been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars – most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you’ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
