Cacen Siocled (Chocolate Cake) is a traditional Cymric (Welsh) recipe for a classic 'home style' chocolate cake made with cocoa powder rather than real chocolate. The full recipe is presented here and I hope you enjoy this classic Welsh dish of: Chocolate Cake.
450g o flawd codi
275ml o lefrith
225g o siwgwr caster
110g o lard
50g o bowdwr codi
50g o bowdwr coco
1 ŵy wedi ei guro
1/2 llwy de o rinflas fanila
Dull:
Hidlwch y blawd a'r powdwr coco ynghyd ddwywaith yna ciwbiwch y braster cyn ei rwbio i fewn. Ychwanegwch y siwgwr a chymysgwch yn dda cyn ychwanegu'r llefrith a'r ŵy. Cymysgwch yn drwyadl yna ychwanegwch y rhinflas fanila.
Trosglwyddwch y gymysged i dyniau byniau neu myffin crwn wedi eu iro'n dda (dyiai fod digon o gymysgedd i ddwsin o gacennau bychan). Rhoddwch y cyfan mewn popty wedi ei gyn-gynhesu i 170°C a phobwch am tua 12 munud, neu nes fod pen y cacennau yn frown a bod sgiwer wedi ei osod yng nghanol y gacen yn dod allan yn lân.
Gellir pobi'r cacen hefyd mewn tun cacen 20cm ar ei draws gan ei bobi am tua 90 munud menw popty wedi ei gyn-gnyhesu i 170°C.

Sift together the flour and cocoa powder twice then cube the fat and rub into the flour mixture. Add the sugar and mix well before adding the milk and egg. Combine thoroughly to form a batter then mix in the vanilla extract.
Transfer the batter into round bun tins or muffin tins that have been well greased (there should be enough mixture for 12 small cakes). Place the tins in an oven pre-heated to 170°C and bake for about 12 minutes, or until the tops of the cakes are nicely browned and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cakes emerges cleanly.
It's also possible to bake the cake in a single 20cm round cake tin, baking for about 90 minutes in an oven pre-heated to 170°C.
When ready turn the cake (or cakes) out onto a wire rack and allow to cool before serving.
