I made the most divine chocolate cake this weekend. There is nothing like tasting that rich cocoa flavour swirl in your mouth as you savour each and every morsel. I didnt get a chance to take any pics :( as it was all finished by yesterday. This is really one of the most easiest chocolate cake recipes there are and to be honest it is flop free.....
2 Tbp of Cocoa
1/2 Cup of Water
1/2 Cup Oil
Cup Flour
1 Cup Castor Sugar
4 Eggs
2 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
1 Tsp Vanilla
Mix Cocoa, Water and oil well. Than add flour, castor sugar and four slightly beaten egg yolks. Than add the two Tsp of Baking powder. Add 1/2 tsp of Baking Powder to the egg whites and beat until fluffy. Fold this into the first mixture. Add the vanilla. Pour it into two tins and bake at 180 C for 20-25 minutes.For the topping - I took Fresh Cream and added some sugar to it. It has to be really sweet. Beat the cream until creamy and fluffy. Take the one cake and put a layer of Strawberry Jam and a layer of cream. Put the other cake over this and ice the whole cake with the cream and decorate with grated chocolate. I used Flake.
It was truly, utterly, sinfully divine.....
