Most of us have one or two never-fail recipes. Luckily for me, mine is a chocolate one. Now I'm not saying this is the world's best chocolate cake recipe, but it is definitely a great one. It's simple, economical, rich chocolate flavoured, moist and never fails, even when my little helpers helps a bit too much.
This cake freezes well. It makes quite a good size cake so I often syphon some batter off and make some lunch box muffins. Sometimes I make into a batch of chocolate cupcakes instead of a cake.
All you do is sift t
ogether into a large bowl:
- 300g flour
- half cup cocoa
- 1 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 t baking powder
- 2 t baking soda
In another bowl combine:
- 2 eggs
- 2 cup water
- 1 T white vinegar (I have often used malt)
- half cup light vegetable oil
Whisk the wet ingredients, then add wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Break up any lumps. Pour into a greased 22 cm spring form cake tin. Bake in a pre-heated oven just under 150 for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Adjust the cooking time for muffins/cupcakes.
Do you have a world's best chocolate cake recipe? Do you have any never fail recipes to share?

Should the 300g flour be 300g sugar? I'd like to make my daughter a birthday cake in a couple of weeks & would like to try this recipe :-)

ReplyDeleteIt is now corrected. I can not believe that I made such a gaffe. Sorry to take so long to get back to you on this as I was on holiday and Anna answered, but she didnt know it was wrong in the recipe.
