Recipe: Chocolate Cake

[aquaprofunda]

This is a recipe from a coworker's mum, and I have to say it's the best chocolate cake I've ever made. The cake itself is still warm, and I'm just wiping off the crumbs of my first slice!

I'm not a fan of sweet/rich cakes, and this one is perfect. Just chocolatey enough, just sweet enough, dense enough to hold together without being gooey.

Ingredients

• 2 cups sugar


• 2 cups plain flour


• half cup cocoa


• one teaspoon carb soda


• quarter spoon salt


• 2 eggs


• three quarters cup milk


• three quarters vegetable oil


• 1cup hot water


• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Method

1. Sift all dry ingredients together


2. Mix together liquids (beating eggs in process)


3. Add liquids to dry ingredients, mix well


4. Bake in oven 200 degrees 9x9 cake tin for one hour or until cooked (mine took about 1.5 hours)
