Nas Bar Cakes

A recent Wednesday night saw the standard procedure of going for a drink with a pal to the pub, Bryony, the other half of B.Unit and yes we have called ourselves this for 10 out of the 18 years we have been friends. Always been straight up G's even at 13. Left the pub after a cheeky cider and straight to Tesco's to then realise I didn't have enough money for dinner and cake ingredients. Well not to worry because once home I lured my housemate into going back to the shop for the ingredients in return for tasting the bakes. Tactical game right there, so here they are...one for the cake tin I would say, nothing special but would probably go down quite exquisitely with a cup of tea. On a side note from the recipe I also sent one of these in the post to a pal and still had a great review so at least we know they travel well.

Nas Bar Cakes

 

 

 

You will need:

 

7 oz Unsalted Butter

7 oz Golden Caster Sugar

7 oz Self Raising Flour

1 oz Cocoa Powder

4 Eggs

2 Mars Bars Chopped

1 tsp Milk

 

For the icing:

4 oz Butter

8 oz Icing Sugar

100g Milk Chocolate

2 Mars Bars to decorate

 

Method:

 

Preheat the oven to 180C. Now whack the 2 chopped Mars Bars in a saucepan with the milk on a low heat and let them melt whilst you cream the butter and sugar together. Mix the flour and cocoa powder together in a separate bowl and have that at the ready. Once you have beaten two of the eggs in, add half the flour mixture making sure you fold it in giving the cakes air and also helps to create that smooth cake texture. Add the remaining 2 eggs and the flour and repeat the folding process. By now the Mars bar and milk should be melted and if its not then damn you got some quick folding skills, add that into the cake mixture and voila it is ready to go into cupcake cases and into the oven.

Bake for 18 minutes.

 

I doubt many playas would eat these after knowing the amount of chocolate that goes in them however Bryony managed 2 and snuck half a mars bar off the side that was meant for decorating so were rolling with the chocolate vibe on the icing too. Melt the chocolate whilst you mix the butter and icing sugar together, once creamy add in the melted chocolate and leave to cool for around 30minutes. You can then ice the cakes and add optional chunks of Mars for the Full-time playa state of mind.
