Lazy Cat Choco Crunch Cake
Ingredients:
-
200g (about 7 oz) chocolate (dark, milk, or a combination—your choice)
-
100g (about 3.5 oz) unsalted butter
-
100g (about 1/2 cup) sugar (you can adjust based on your sweetness preference)
-
1/2 cup heavy cream (or double cream)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
200g (about 7 oz) crunchy cornflakes (plain or lightly salted works best)
-
50g (about 2 oz) chopped nuts (optional, but adds great texture—choose almonds, hazelnuts, or walnuts)
-
A pinch of salt (to balance the sweetness)
-
Sprinkles or chocolate chips (optional, for decoration)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Pan:
-
Line a square or rectangular cake pan (about 8×8 inches) with parchment paper. This helps to remove the cake later, and also makes cleanup easier.
-
-
Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
-
In a heatproof bowl, add the chocolate and butter.
-
Melt them together either over a double boiler (set the bowl over a pot of simmering water) or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and melted.
-
-
Add the Cream and Sugar:
-
Once the chocolate and butter have melted together, add the heavy cream and sugar. Stir well until the sugar has dissolved, and the mixture becomes smooth and shiny.
-
Add in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness. Stir everything until fully combined.
-
-
Mix in the Crunchy Cornflakes:
-
Gently fold in the crunchy cornflakes, making sure they’re evenly coated with the chocolate mixture. Be gentle while mixing so the cornflakes stay intact and crunchy.
-
If you’re adding nuts, this is the time to stir them in as well.
-
-
Press the Mixture into the Pan:
-
Pour the chocolate-coated cornflake mixture into your prepared pan.
-
Use a spatula or spoon to press it down gently, spreading it out evenly in the pan. Make sure it’s nice and compacted, so it holds together when set.
-
-
Chill the Cake:
-
Place the pan in the fridge and let the cake chill for at least 2-3 hours, or until the chocolate has completely set and hardened. You can leave it overnight if you want to make sure it’s fully firm.
-
-
Serve and Enjoy:
-
Once set, remove the cake from the pan by lifting it out using the parchment paper.
-
Slice it into squares or bars and enjoy! If you like, you can decorate the top with sprinkles, chocolate chips, or extra chopped nuts for a fun touch.
-
Tips & Variations:
-
Chocolate Choices: You can mix dark and milk chocolate for a balanced taste, or go all dark chocolate if you prefer a richer flavor.
-
Toppings: Feel free to add a drizzle of melted white chocolate over the top or sprinkle with sea salt for an extra flavor contrast.
-
Add-ins: You can mix in other ingredients like dried fruits (raisins, cranberries), coconut flakes, or marshmallows for some variety.
This cake is super easy to make, and the combination of crunchy cornflakes with smooth chocolate is irresistible! Plus, it’s no-bake, so it’s perfect for when you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to turn on the oven.
