Never Fail 5 Minute Chocolate Cake
Ingredients
4 eggs
2 Cups Self Raising Flour
2 Cups Sugar
1 Cup Cocoa
1 Cup Milk (Skim is fine)
250g of Butter or Margarine
Method
Pre Heat Oven on to 180°C
Place Margarine or butter into Microwave proof bowl along with cocoa and heat for 1 - 2 minutes
Sift Flour into large mixing bowl along with sugar, eggs and milk.
Remove cocoa and butter mixture from microwave and stir to disolve all the cocoa. Pour into mixing bowl and thoroughly mix with other ingredients, ensuring thorouogh aeration of teh ingredients
Pour ingredients into greased (butter, margarine or canola spray) cake tin and bake at the bottom of the oven (the lowest rack) for approximately 1 hour.
Remove after a skewer comes out clean, and allow to cool.
Ice cake by mixing 3/4 cup of icing sugar with 2 Tablespoons of cocoa melted into 1 tablespoon of margarine and a dash of milk. Add tiny amounts of milk to achieve the correct consistency.
Variations include added several drops of vanilla, slicing in half when cooked and filling with cream and/or caramel, and my personal favourite, emptying a pack of choc bits into the cake just befoer it gets baked.
To make this cake shouldn't take anymore than 5 - 10 minutes.
