Method
- Heat oven to 170ºC/fan150ºC/gas 3. Using the 2 tbsp of butter, grease a 2.4 litre bundt tin so it’s completely coated.
- Melt the chocolate in a glass bowl set over a simmering pot of water, making sure the bottom doesn’t touch the water. Alternatively you microwave it for 30 secs at a time until melted. Remove from the heat and add in the cocoa, vanilla, sour cream and 75ml hot water and whisk until smooth.
- In another bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt.
- In a standing electric mixer beat the butter with the sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs, one a time, then beat for 3 mins until thick and full. Stir in the chocolate sour cream mixture, then add the flour mixture. Mix again and then scrape into the bundt tin. Bake for 45-50 mins or until a skewer comes out clean. Remove from oven and leave to cool for 15 mins. Place a wire cooling rack over the top and flip over. Leave to cool completely.
- To make the Baileys salted caramel sauce, put all the ingredients into a large frying pan and heat until bubbling, about 5 mins.
- Serve the cake with the caramel sauce poured over the top.
