Ina’s Tip

This cake freezes brilliantly, icing and all. Freeze in a sealed airtight container and defrost in the container to prevent moisture condensing on the cake when defrosting.

Method:

Cake

Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 180 °C. Butter two 18 cm cake pans and line the bases with baking paper.

Mix cake according to package instructions.

Stir in the two Bar-One's, cut into slivers.

Divide mixture evenly between 2 cake pans. Bake for 35 minutes.

Leave the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Turn out onto a cooling rack and leave until cold.

Bar-One glaze

Warm the cream to just below boiling point. Add Bar-One slivers, remove from heat and stir until dissolved. Be patient, as it takes a while to melt. Leave to cool.

Icing

Mix icing according to package instructions. Ice one layer of the cake and drizzle over about one third of the Bar-One glaze. Place the second cake on top. Ice top layer with remaining icing and drizzle with remaining Bar-One glaze. Feather with the point of a sosatie stick.
