How To Make Chocolate Chip Cake Rusks

Steps

1. Beat the sugar and butter until well combined.
2. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking each egg into the batter until well combined before adding the next.
3. Add in the self-raising flour.
4. The mixture will be pretty thick!
5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
6. Transfer the batter into a greased or lined square shaped cake tin.
7. Bake at 180℃ for about 40 minutes, or until the top of the cake is golden and the cake is cooked through.
8. Please do NOT overbake!
9. This will lead to a very dry rusk!
10. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before going on to the next step, otherwise the cake will be crumbly and more likely to break during handling
11. Cut the cake into slices.
12. Arrange these on a baking tray with the inside (not the crust-side) of the cake facing upwards.
13. Bake these at 150℃ for approximately 10-15 minutes, then flip and bake again for an additional 10-15 minutes.
14. If the cake slices have not become biscuit-like in texture and crumb, continue to bake for an additional 10 or so minutes until they do.
15. Allow to cool completely before handling and serving.
