Brigitte's Special Chocky Cake

Brigitte's Special Chocky Cake for Daniel's birthday:

2C plain flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 1/3 tsp baking soda

3/4C cocoa

2C sugar

120g melted butter

2 beaten eggs

1C milk

1C coffee (liquid) - I omitted this since it was a kids bday cake ~ still tasted delish!

1 tbsp vanilla essence

Preheat oven 180C

Place dry ingredients in bowl.

Add remaining wet ingredients - I do all the warm ingredients first, i.e. melted butter, coffee, then milk, eggs and essence. That way the mixture doesn't go lumpy. The mixture should be super slushy ; )

Pour in large cake tin, bake about 45mins.

*You can make muffins with this recipe. Also, I tend to only put 1 3/4C sugar instead of 2C cos I add real chocolate icing.  

*Chocolate icing is half chocolate, half unsalted butter e.g 125g each and melt. The chocolate the kids like is the Whittaker's 50% cocoa.

Enjoy!!
