Join us on 20 June and 17 October at Soetmelksvlei to learn to bake your very own chocolate cake with master baker Martjie Malan.

Every home cook should have a seriously delicious chocolate cake recipe up their sleeve – and we’ve got just the one! Join us at Soetmelksvlei to learn to bake your very own chocolate cake with master baker Martjie Malan.

Following a short ride along the picturesque slopes of Simonsberg, we’ll descend towards the historical farmyard of Soetmelksvlei, which represents a time when life was simpler and craftsmanship was treasured. Here, Martjie will teach you the art of making her tried-and-tested chocolate cake recipe.

Guests will learn all the tips and tricks on how to mix, bake and finish a classic chocolate cake – a staple in every home and for every type of celebration. You’ll also learn to make homemade caramel and use chocolate ganache filling to decorate your cake.

After a chocolatey morning, a hearty lunch will be served at the Old Stables Restaurant.

The cost is R1500 per person and only 10 places are available.

Please meet us at the Babylonstoren ticket office at 08h30.
