<p><span style="font-weight: 400">We have combined our love of ‘magic cake’ with one of our other obsessions, choc-mint. If you’ve never made a magic cake before, prepare to be amazed at how the mixture separates as it bakes to create different layers. The cake ends up with a custardy base and a spongy top, with the sweetness of white chocolate and a zing of mint.</span></p>

5 Method Steps

Step 1

Preheat oven to 170°C/150°C fan forced. Grease a 21cm (base size) square cake pan (see note) and line with baking paper, allowing the paper to overhang 2 sides.

Step 2

Place the butter and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, stirring halfway through, or until melted and combined. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

Reserve 1 tbsp sugar. Place the egg yolks and remaining sugar in a large bowl. Use electric beaters to beat for 2-3 minutes or until very pale and thick. Beat in the peppermint extract. Pour in the chocolate mixture and use a balloon whisk to mix until combined. Sift over the flour and use the balloon whisk to stir until combined. Gradually stir in the milk and food colouring.

Step 4

Wash and dry the beaters. Use electric beaters to beat the egg whites and reserved sugar in a clean, dry bowl until soft peaks form. Fold the egg white mixture into the peppermint mixture until just combined. Gently pour into prepared pan.

Step 5

Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the cake is set but still wobbles slightly. Set aside in the pan for about 2 hours to cool completely (it will be puffed up when it comes out of the oven, but will sink on cooling). Dust with cocoa and cut into squares to serve.
