Instructions
1. Grease a 7 or 8-inch Tin and preheat the oven to fan 160C 320F / Gas mark 4.
2. Cream the butter and then add the Natural Flavoured Icing Sugar and Granulated Sugar together until light and fluffy.
3. Add your egg yolks and mix thoroughly, next add a good amount of red food colouring so you get a deep colour once mixed in.
4. In a separate bowl add the cocoa powder, flour, salt and baking powder and stir in.
5. Add the flour mix into the mixer with the sugar, and butter mix and mix until it forms a together dough, finally add in the chocolate chips/callets.
6. Half the dough and spread half into the base of the tin unit even and smooth. Pour the Nutella into the middle of the cookie cake and flatten slightly. Flatten the 2nd half of the dough into a circle and place it over the top of the tin to create a lid and smooth it out.
7. Bake in the oven for 15 mins. Check that it is not moving when tilted, if it’s still loose bake for 5 more mins then transfer it to a wire cooling tray to cool completely.
8. Optional topping, cream 70g of unsalted butter until creamy then add 140g of Velvet Vanilla Natural Flavoured Icing Sugar until combined and creamy.
9. Pipe onto the cookie cake in your desired way and sprinkle on the chocolate chips.
This cookie cake will keep well in an airtight container for a week.
