Last weekend I was looking for a cake recipe and I saw this Brownie Butter cake recipe online and I was pretty impressed with the simplicity of this cake, so I gave it a shot and I am so glad I tried it out.

This cake has 2 layers, top layer is a simple white cake which is soft and spongy and has a very simple flavor. The second is a brownie layer which is very very chocolaty, fudgy and intense. The combination of both together is what makes this cake very unique and worth a try.

Step 1: Ingredients and Steps to Required for Making Brownie Base

Ingredients:

140g (5oz) dark chocolate (broken into pieces)

50g (¼ cup) unsalted butter

50g (¼ cup) brown sugar

1 Egg

35g (¼ cup) all-purpose flour

Steps:

Grease and line a 10cm x 20cm (4×8-in) loaf pan with aluminium foil.

Preheat oven to 180C/350F.

To make brownie, melt chocolate and butter. Remove and leave to cool slightly. Stir in brown sugar until blended.

Add in egg, mix well.
Fold in flour, mix until well combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 2: Ingredients and Steps Required to Prepare Butter Cake Layer

Ingredients:

120g (½ cup) unsalted butter

100g (½ cup) sugar (I reduced by 1 Tbsp)

2 Eggs

120g (1 cup) all-purpose flour

2g (¼ tsp) baking powder

50ml (3 ½ Tbsp) fresh milk

Steps:

To make butter cake, beat butter with sugar until creamy. Add in eggs and beat well.

Fold in sifted flour and baking powder, alternately add in fresh milk, mix to form batter.

Spread the butter cake batter over brownie, bake in oven at 160C/320F for 25-30 minutes or until cooked. Insert a cake tester in the middle to check doneness. Serve warm or cold :)
