Chocolate Chip Cookie Bundt Cake

Chocolate Chip Cookie Bundt Cake
I love a challenge. One of my friends needed something chocolatey to take to a New Year's Eve Party, which would be suitable for adults and kids alike. So off I trot for a wander round Tesco for some inspiration. I happened across the packets of mini chocolate chip cookies, and was sold on the idea of sticking them in a bundt.

This is a densely chocolatey cake with the exact taste of cookies, made even more wonderful by being covered in chocolate. It's dead easy and will get you maximum brownie points from the chocoholics in the room.


 Ingredients:
  • 225g butter
  • 450g golden caster sugar
  • 4 medium eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 350g plain flour
  • 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 200ml plain yoghurt
  • 75ml chocolate milk
  • 4 crushed chocolate chip cookies - I pop mine in a food processor
  • 150g chocolate chips 
  • 1 heaped tbsp chocolate spread
  • 1 jar of chocolate spread (minus the above mentioned spoonful)
  • Cookies to decorate

Method:
  1. Preheat the oven to gas 3/160 c
  2. Prepare a regular sized bundt tin - 2.4l, 10 cup, 10 inch with Cake Release spray/melted butter and dust with flour with a little cocoa mixed in.
  3. Cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. 
  5. Add the vanilla extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, measure out the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt.
  7. Pour the yoghurt and chocolate milk into a jug.
  8. Sift in a third of the flour mix followed by half the yoghurt mix. Repeat this until everything is combined.
  9. Stir in the crushed cookies, chocolate chips and chocolate spread.
  10. Give everything a quick mix on a low speed for about 10 seconds.
  11. Pour the mix into your prepared tin. 
  12. Bake in the centre of the oven for about 1 hour 15 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. 
  13. Leave the cake to cool for ten minutes before removing from the tin.
  14. When the cake is fully cool, pop the chocolate spread into a jug and heat in the microwave to loosen it. Tip over your cake and decorate with bits of cookie!
