Vital Chilli Soy Sauce and Chocolate Cake

Recipe by Freddie Kritzinger

Ingredients:

• 120g chocolate
• 120g butter
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 15 drops Vital Chilli soy sauce
• 3 eggs, separated
• 1/3 cup ground almonds
• 130ml cake flour
• Pinch crushed chilli
• 1 Tbs castor sugar

For the chocolate glaze:

• 120g chocolate
• 2 Tbs hot water
• 1 Tbs coffee powder
• 5 drops Vital chilli soy sauce
• 4 Tbs butter

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180C.
2. Line a cake tin with spray and cook.
3. Melt the chocolate and leave to cool.
4. Cream together the butter and 2/3 cups of sugar until light and fluffy.
5. Stir in the egg yolks, melted chocolate, almonds, cake flour and chilli.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites and the tablespoon of sugar until soft peaks from.
7. Fold the egg whites into the cake mixture then pour into the cake tin.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes – the cake is done when a cake tester inserted in the outer area comes out clean (the centre will still be slightly moist).
9. For the glaze, place all the ingredients into a bowl and melt gently over a Bain Marie.
10. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake and let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
