Magic Chocolate Custard Cake

Magic Chocolate Custard Cake is so decadent ! Mix, bake and the layers form magically – so easy to make this very popular chocolate treat – for dessert or as part of a sweet party platter.

Magic Chocolate Custard Cake

This Magic Chocolate Custard Cake is not only magic through the baking process, but pure magic to your taste buds as well !

I made the desserts (this and an Amarula Cake of which you can find the recipe HERE) yesterday as my sweet daughter had come over for Mother’s Day to cook dinner for us

Absolutely decadent and if you have never tried a Magic cake recipe yet, you are missing out big time. I am always surprised how these cakes, or is it bars ? turn out – never fails

Magic Chocolate Custard Cake

It really is a mix-n-bake recipe and voila ! turns out as you can see in the photos. The very bottom layer is a little chewy, and by that I mean really very little

The next layer is Custard, soft and slightly spongy, but almost melt-in-the-mouth. To top it off, a delicious crunchy cake layer.

I get 15 servings from the recipe, although no one ever only has one serving of this Magic Chocolate Custard Cake !

The slices are around 5 x 5cm (2 x 2 inches) when sliced, which is not too shabby, but let me repeat myself – ONE slice is not enough ? especially for chocolate lovers

You will also taste the Nutella, only a hint, but it is definitely there and to my reasoning Nutella is a winner in or on anything

Magic Chocolate Custard Cake

A huge plus is that the Cake can be made ahead of time, a day or even two days, as long as it is kept in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

Leave the slicing till just before serving, oh and the slicing is a breeze ! Perfect slices each and every time
