Chocolate Cake

Chocolate Cake

While we are doing recipes, here is the easiest best ever chocolate cake, it looks like runny black custard, be warned, but cooks up beautifully, and never dries out.

2 cups plain flour, 

2 cups sugar, 

2 teasp baking powder, 

2 teasp baking soda, 

1/2 teasp salt,

Sift these all together. Melt 6 oz butter add good 1/2 cup cocoa, mix these and add 2 cups hot water. Add this mix and 2 eggs to dry ingredients and combine, (I find the egg beater is best for this). Line a deepish cake tin with baking paper, pour mix in and bake mod oven about 3/4 hour. It is even nicer when sliced in half and the midle spread with raspberry jam and chocolate icing. Enjoy. My all time record was making 6 of these for various friends ,in one day, when the family were at home.
