I’ve recently fallen in love with the loaf cake. Funny isn’t it to fall in love with the shape rather than the flavour :). But I think there is something about Loaf cakes that sets them apart. It has that simple elegance that no other cake has… It needs to icing, no trimmings. Others are out there to lure the world with their charms but a loaf cake knows he doesn’t need these superficial decorations!

Definitely trying this.. because I am a chocolate addict!
Tell me, how different is castor sugar from normal powdered sugar?
Is the cocoa powder used her unsweetened? I have a sweet on actually. So can I use it and reduce the quantity of sugar?

Hey NS,
This one is my favorite chocolate cake recipe 🙂 It’s simple and has sinful amount of chocolate in it!
so normal powdered sugar would be similar to castor sugar.. but if your sugar is more like flour then it will be similar to icing sugar which is sweeter than castor sugar for the same proportion, so you might want to reduce it.
Also I use unsweetened cocoa; so if you are using sweetened one, then again reduce sugar quantity accordingly.
Let me know how it turned out 🙂
Cheers!
