Title: SUPER EASY AND FAST CHOCOLATE CAKE
Post by: Dublin Girl in Oz on February 15, 2010, 01:32:05 am

This is a super easy cake (even easier now the Thermomix!).  I make it at least once a week for lunchboxes.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups self raising flour -  210 g
1 1/2 cups sugar - 330 g
3 tablespoons cocoa - 20 g
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk - 180g
180 g warm melted butter


Method

Put oven on 180 degrees.

Melt butter in microwave and put aside.
Blitz 1 1/2 cups sugar in  *: for about 4 seconds on 7.
Add rest of ingredients to  *:  don't forget butter in microwave and  ^^ for around 5 seconds on 6/7 till combined.

Pour into 20 cm tin which has been well greased and floured (I just use a silicone tin with spray oil!).
Bake for 50-55 minutes.

We normally eat it without icing but you could ice with lemon or chocolate iciing.

* Recipe originally from Camberwell Primary School Cookbook


ENJOY

Thanks for this.  I make a very similar one called Simplicity Chocolate cake.
This keeps well and is lovely and moist.

is this one any good for a 3yo's birthday cake? probably with either cream cheese icing or chocolate ganache...

I am going in circles a bit with all the possiblities!

It would be a good one for a 3 year old's B-day - could be tarted up with icing etc.  We generally have it just sprinkled with icing sugar!
