Stone Wall Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

#1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour #1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder #1 teaspoon baking powder #1/4 teaspoon salt #1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened #1 cup granulated sugar #2 large egg #1 teaspoon vanilla extract #1/2 cup milk #1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

For the "stone" decoration:

# Chocolate-covered malt balls or chocolate rock # Crushed graham crackers or chocolate wafer cookie

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9 x 9 inch baking pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer or do this by hand with a wooden spoon.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

If desired, fold in the chocolate chips to add extra texture and flavor.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Once the cake has cooled, prepare the "stone" decoration. Place the chocolate-covered malt balls or chocolate rocks on top of the cake, pressing them slightly into the surface to resemble stones.

Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers or chocolate wafer cookies around the "stones" to create the look of a stone wall.

Slice and serve the stone wall cake as desired.

Enjoy your delicious stone wall cake!
