Directions

  1. 1

    For the baking mix, sieve the flour into a bowl. Mix with baking powder. First pour into the glass, shake smooth and press down a little. Then pour in the sugar. Mix cocoa, 1 pinch of salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves.

  2. 2

    Add to the sugar. Sprinkle the last layer of grated chocolate on top (see picture on the left) and close the jar. Decorate with the instructions for baking.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven for final baking (electric oven: 175 °C/circulating air: 150 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Grease the box form and dust with flour.

  4. 4

    Pour the baking mixture into a mixing bowl. Add butter, eggs and milk. Using the whisks of the mixer, mix to a smooth dough, first on a low setting, then on the highest setting. Fill into the tin and smooth it down.

  5. 5

    Bake in the lower third of the hot oven for 50-60 minutes. Approx. 10 minutes before the end of the baking time, make a wooden stick test. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the mould. Turn out onto a cake rack and let it cool completely.

    Break the chocolate into pieces for the icing. Melt with cream and coconut oil in a small pot while stirring at low heat. Remove from the heat and let it cool down. Spread evenly on the cake.
