Most people love chocolate - chocolate cake, chocolate ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, hot or cold coco etc. This is because the taste of chocolate is awesome. Besides, chocolate is full of nutrients that have positive impact on our health. However, as usual, we should not take anything in abundance. Overindulgence is definitely not good for our health.
My son loves the Chocolate Cake and used to pester me to bake him one every now and turn. I have been using this recipe of mine for as long as I can remember. The cake always turned up moist and was very tasty.
Ingredients:
- 250 g butter
- 200 g castor sugar (sometimes I use brown sugar)
- 4 grade A eggs
- 150 g self-raising flour
- 70 g cocoa powder
- 50 ml milk
Method:
- Sieve flour and cocoa powder twice. Set aside.
- Cream butter and sugar till the batter is light and creamy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Make sure that you beat each egg well before adding the next.
- Add the sifted dry ingredients, a third at a time, until they are well combined.
- Add in the milk. Mix well.
- Line and grease an 8-inch round tin.
- Pour the batter into the tin and bake it at 175 deg C for about 50 minutes or until the skewer comes out clean.
- Unmould immediately after the cake is done and let it cool down on a metal rack.
