SIMPLE CHOCOLATE CAKE.....



Hello again!...ok... a very easy chocolate cake...just had a piece with ice-cream...quite yummy. Now that was a decadent breakfast!!  Hay why not...life too short for tea and toast!

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup water
3/4 cup of sugar ..  more or less...depending on your sweet tooth!
125 grams real butter
1/3 cup cocoa
2 eggs (lightly beaten)  free range
1 1/2 cups plain flour
3 level  teaspoons baking powder
dash vanilla




METHOD:

Combine the cocoa water..butter..sugar  in saucepan and warm till butter melted...do not boil.
Transfer to a bowl...let cool down ..beat the eggs and vanilla...pour into mixture..stir in sifted flour and baking powder and mix well.

bake in moderate oven  180 Celsius approx. 40 minutes...give or take...

done!!  how easy was that!

I used a 20cm spring form pan...but if you want a higher cake...I defiantly would use a smaller pan...I will next time...I like height!!  :)

I have a few more recipes up my sleeve... coming soon!

Life certainly IS too short for tea and toast for breakfast. I think I'll make a point to have icecream for breakfast sometime soon! The cake looks great, and I love the plate that it's sitting on ;)
