I have tested many chocolate cake recipes but this has come up trumps from them all. Altered from Sophie Gray Destitute Gourmet. It is moist and makes a good amount. It is the only chocolate cake I make now. Ingredients:
1 2/3 cups flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
2/3 cup cocoa |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 cups skim milk |
100 g butter, melted |
2 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
1 teaspoon coffee |
25 g butter |
1/3 cup cocoa |
1 cup icing sugar |
1 teaspoon coffee |
1 teaspoon vanilla essence |
water or milk |
2 tablespoons cream cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 180°C Grease cake tin. Put all the main ingredients into a food processor and mix. Pour into the prepared tin. Bake for at least 50 minutes. (I found I need less time than this). The cake will rise a lot and when cooked the centre should spring back when gently pressed.
2. ICING: Mix above ingredients together with enough water or milk to make the icing consistency right. NB: You can make extra icing for a filling if you cut the cake in half horizonally.
