Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C top/bottom heat. Line a 24 cm springform tin with greased baking paper.
  2. For the cake, place the butter in a small pan and melt. Leave to cool slightly.
  3. Place the flour in a bowl with the sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cocoa powder and a pinch of salt and mix together.
  4. Place the eggs and vanilla extract in a separate bowl and whisk together.
  5. Add the melted and slightly cooled butter to the eggs and stir in.
  6. Now add the butter mixture to the flour mixture and mix with a dough scraper.
  7. Pour the milk into a small pan and heat (do not boil).
  8. Add the warm milk to the batter and stir until mixed through fully.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared springform tin and bake in the middle of the oven for 40-50 minutes (don't forget to test with a skewer).
  10. Remove the cake from the oven, leave to cool for 2-3 minutes and then turn out onto a cake rack.
  11. To make the frosting, bring the cream cheese and butter to room temperature.
  12. Then place the cream cheese and butter in a bowl and beat with a hand mixer for a few minutes, until smooth and combined fully.
  13. Now add the icing sugar and stir in.
  14. Once everything has combined, sieve in the cocoa powder and stir in. Stir until a creamy frosting has formed.
  15. Spread the frosting on the cooled cake and sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
