Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup cocoa , sifted
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 cup sunflower oil

Directions:

  1. Turn on oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
  2. Set rack to low or middle shelf position.
  3. Generously grease and flour a 25cm springform cake tin.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the cake ingredients & mix on medium speed of an electric mixer for about 3 minutes or until well combined. Or if you don't have an electric mixer like me at the moment, just use a wooden spoon until all the lumps have been smoothed out.
  5. Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until the cake is cooked in the centre (check with a wooden skewer).
  6. Ice with chocolate or coffee icing if desired, when completely cooled. Kiwi fruit goes really with this cake, as does mandarine.
