Chocolate Cake
This makes quite a rich firm chocolate cake: for a more conventional consistency use less black treacle.
Ingredients
| 190g | Self Raising Flour |
| 40g | Cocoa Powder |
| 200g | Butter |
| 200g | Brown Sugar |
| 90g | Black Treacle |
| 1 tsp (5ml) | Vanilla essence |
| 4 | Eggs |
Method
Pre-heat the oven to 180C. Grease 2 200mm diameter round baking tins. Mix the flour and the cocoa power and sieve this mixture.
Beat the butter and sugar together until light and paler, then beat in the treacle, vanilla essence and eggs (one at a time) beating well after each addition. Finally add the flour and cocoa mixture (sieved again as it goes in) and fold it in. Transfer to the two greased baking tins and bake in the centre of the oven at 180C for about 45 mins. Remove from tin when cold.
