Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and line a cake tin with butter paper. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda in a bowl. This helps remove lumps and ensures even mixing. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and creamy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add few drops of vanilla essence. Now gradually fold the dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Add milk slowly and mix until the batter becomes smooth and lump free. Avoid over mixing, as it can make the cake dense. If using dried black currants, soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes and drain properly. Lightly coat the currants with one tablespoon of flour. This step helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom. Gently fold them into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the surface. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Once fully cooled, you can dust it with icing sugar or drizzle a simple chocolate glaze on top. Serve and enjoy!
This chocolate black currant cake is moist, rich and perfectly balanced in flavour.
