However, if you Google "madeira cake" or "butter cake" you will find lots of suitable recipes. For the pudding basin, I used a recipe that would fit into a 20cm (8") round (the basin was not as wide, but deeper). To make it chocolate flavoured, simply substitute some of the plain flour for cocoa powder (I used 50g for each mixture). <br />For most cakes, a dip in the middle would usually indicate that it is slightly undercooked. You did mention that you were using a sponge recipe though, which I am less familiar with. For this cake I would not recommend using sponge; a heavier cake is easier to carve into shape, and less likely to collapse under the weight (as it's quite tall). I hope this helps - I'd love to hear how it turns out! :)Sugary Flowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09802638859174215505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4608725889051652341.post-80682056945619085272013-05-30T21:33:25.405+08:002013-05-30T21:33:25.405+08:00Your cake looks fantastic and I am hoping to make ...Your cake looks fantastic and I am hoping to make one just like this for my daughters birthday in June.
