Easy as Chocolate Cake

I thank Annabel Langbein for this absolutely fail safe, easy and yummy Chocolate Cake.
And to think you make it in one bowl - a food processor!


Ingredients

3 cups Self Raising flour
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup cocoa powder (use the best you can afford)
2 teaspoons sifted baking powder
200g softened butter
1 cup of milk or natural yoghurt
3 large eggs
1 cup boiling hot coffee

Method

Preheat oven to 160 degrees Celsius.
Grease the sides and line the base with baking paper of either 1 x 30cm round cake tin or 2 x 20cm.
Place all of the above ingredients into the bowl of a food processor and mix until all ingredients are combined and the butter is incorporated.
Pour into tin/s.
Bake for an hour or until a skewer inserted, comes out clean.
Cool in the tin.

Smoother with chocolate ganache (coming to the blog shortly)

This cake freezes well, (before icing) or you can make into cup cakes.

Give it a try you won't be disappointed.
