I had the urge to bake a chocolate cake today. It's Moist Chocolate Cake, mom's recipe that I've had for some time. Here's the recipe...
The Cake:
2 cups Superfine flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda
3/4 butter
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
3 eggs
1 cup water
Method:
Combine cocoa powder and water, cool in refrigerator.
Sift flour, bicarbonate soda and baking powder 3 times.
Beat butter in the mixing bowl moderately.
Add sugar and vanilla essense.
Beat until fluffy.
Add eggs gradually.
Add sifted flour into mixture gradually together with cocoa mixture in turns.
Pour mixture into a round cake tin (split into 2) and bake at 350 F for 20-30 minutes.
