This recipe is super easy and very cheap to make. It tastes surprisingly rich given the small amount of oil/butter. This is a great all-purpose cake, and could be used for birthdays, lunchboxes, or a midnight snack! Feel free to vary the essence... I have tried orange essence, coffee essence, cherry essence and also just plain vanilla. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons vegetable oil or 3 tablespoons melted butter |
1 cup self raising flour |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
2 tablespoons cocoa powder |
1/2 cup skim milk |
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celcius.
2. Put all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat well for about 2 minutes.
3. Pour butter into a greased cake tin.
4. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Do not overbake, as it can dry out.
5. Leave to cool in tin before slicing.
