Ruby Chocolate Drip Cake

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a 9x9cm (3.5x3.5in) baking dish with parchment paper.

   Tip: For easy cake removal.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

   Tip: Use a stand mixer or whisk until combined.

3. 3

   Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

   Tip: Don't overmix the eggs.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.

   Tip: Avoid lumps.

5. 5

   Melt the ruby chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval until smooth.

   Tip: Stir until glossy.

6. 6

   Pour half the cake batter into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the melted ruby chocolate over the batter.

   Tip: Don't worry if it gets a bit messy.

7. 7

   Pour the remaining cake batter over the chocolate layer.

   Tip: Smooth the top for a professional finish.

8. 8

   Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

   Tip: Don't overbake.

9. 9

   Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

   Tip: Let it set for a few hours for best results.
