Cake in a Potjie pot? Yes, that’s right! And not just ANY cake…a Chocolate Buttermilk Potjie Cake that is moist, rich and simply divine!
Ingredients:
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup boiling water
Pack 15 – 16 briquettes onto the coal grid inside your PotjieKing. Place a couple of firelighters in the bottom section and get that going. We used a size 10 flat-bottomed potjie pot for this recipe.
Note: Please consider the weather when choosing the number of briquettes you’ll use. If it’s a very cold, windy day then perhaps add one or two extra briquettes, and if it’s a warm, still day you may need one or two less. Keep an eye on your cake and don’t be afraid to have a little peek under the lid as you get closer to the end of the baking time.
