Como fazer Decadently Rich Port And Chocolate Christmas Cake
- Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F). Grease and flour a 23cm (9-inch) round cake tin.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the port wine, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Stir in the chocolate chips, dried fruit, and nuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for 240 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Check regularly after the first hour and tent with foil if the cake is browning too quickly.
- Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, you can ice the cake with your favorite icing or glaze. A rich chocolate ganache pairs beautifully with this cake.
