Chocolate Cakes
For the chocolate cake:
A traditional Polish chocolate cake, known as Murzynek, with a rich cocoa flavour, crunchy walnuts and sweet raisins. Made with Gellwe Extra Dark Cocoa Powder and Gellwe Almond Flavouring, this soft, moist cake is finished with a smooth homemade chocolate glaze. Perfect for afternoon tea, family gatherings or enjoying with a cup of coffee.
Bring the margarine and water to the boil, adding the cocoa powder and sugar. Set aside 1 cup of the mixture to use as the chocolate glaze.
Once the remaining mixture has cooled, add the flour combined with Gellwe Baking Powder and the egg yolks. Mix thoroughly until smooth, then add the finely chopped walnuts and raisins.
Finally, fold in the egg whites, whisked until stiff peaks form, and mix gently until combined. Transfer the batter to narrow baking tins greased with margarine and dusted with breadcrumbs.
Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for approximately 45 minutes. Turn off the oven, open the door and leave the cakes inside for another 10 minutes.
Once the cakes have cooled, cover them with the reserved chocolate glaze.
Enjoy!
