Moist Chocolate Cake

by | Recipes

Who doesn’t like chocolate cake?  No one that I know. We love chocolate cake and this recipe is so yummy and very moist.

 

We have had a lot of birthdays lately and this is my go to recipe for chocolate cake. The children love it especially when I put m & m’s on the top for decoration. 

 

Ingredients 

 

120g melted Butter

2 eggs

100 ml full-cream milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

120g caster sugar

120g self raising flour

20g cocoa powder

1 tsp baking powder

 

preheat oven to 180 degrees 

Grease a 20cm cake tin and set aside

Place all ingredients into a mixing bowl

Mix till combined

Pour into the prepared cake tin

Bake for 25-35 min or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.

Let it cool for 5 min in the tin before transferring to a wire rack.

Make sure your cake has cooled down before you ice it.

 

Icing

 

11/2 cups icing sugar 

2 Tbsp cocoa powder

3 Tbs milk

 

Combine all 3 ingredients.

Spread over the cake once it has cooled.

 

You can decorate your cake if you wish before the icing has set.

We like to use m & m’s mainly, but if we make the cake and haven’t planned it 100’s and 1000’s are a great alternative. 

 

Many different lollies can be used. Recently we used snakes to decorate a cake because that’s what Liam asked for.

 

Enjoy this very yummy chocolate cake
