150 g unsalted butter
250 ml white sugar
3 eggs, extra large
500 ml cake flour
15 ml baking powder
3 ml bicarbonate of soda
3 ml fine salt
250 ml plain yogurt

Mix cocoa powder in boiling water until smooth and allow slight cooling.
Cream butter and sugar very well. Add eggs, one-at-a-time, beating well in-between. Then add cocoa mixture.
Sift all your dry ingredients, add bar one chunks to this. Alternately, add sifted ingredients with yogurt to the creamed mixture.
Grease and line a 22 cm loose-bottomed cake tin, spoon in cake mixture.
Bake in a pre-heated oven of 180˚C for about 1 hour.

CHOCOLATE SAUCE
55 g Bar One chocolate
100 g Dark Chocolate, we use Belgium
60 ml cream
45 g unsalted butter

While the cake is baking, mix up all the sauce ingredients in a sauce pan over a low heat until completely melted. Once the cake is baked, remove from the tin, place onto a cooling rack. Using a skewer make holes all over the top of the cake, then pour over the warm sauce. Leave over night covered in the fridge.

CARAMEL SAUCE LAYER
(make the day of the cake baking)
200 g brown sugar
250 ml cream
40 g salted butter
Caramelize the sugar over a low heat in a pan, add butter and then cream. Lightly simmer. Strain through a sieve and place into the fridge.

WHIPPED CREAM LAYER
250 ml cream, whipped

ICING
PART one
2 x 55 g Bar One chocolate
100 g Dark Chocolate, we use Belgium
200 g pink and white Marshmallows
250 ml cream

Place all the above ingredients into a big bowl and melt over a Bain Marie.

PART two
125 g unsalted butter
1 ½ cups sifted icing sugar
½ cup cocoa powder
5 ml vanilla essence

Cream all the above ingredients together.

PART three
Mix part one and part two together well.

Putting the cake together:
Cut the cake into three layers. Place a caramel layer and cream layer in-between the layers.
Finish with the above gooey Bar One Icing. Use a hot knife and take care in icing this. Decorate with Bar One chunks and marshmallows if wanted.

Goeie dag almal. Bar one en Marshmallow koek wat ek vir iemand se verjaarsdag gemaak het. Dit verg baie tyd.

Ek het dit so tydjie terug probeer. Baie soet en oordadig. Buitenste versiersel is baie baie lekker maar dik en swaar.
