How To Make Chocolate Cake

By Margaret

This chocolate cake recipe is straightforward to make, looks professional, but tastes home made, it should be moist and so will last for a few days. Follow the instructions exactly!

How To Make Chocolate Cake:

Blend the cocoa powder and hot water together, leave aside until cool.
Cream the margarine and sugar, add the cocoa mix and fold in.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well, (add a little flour of the flour with the second egg).
Sieve in the rest of the flour.
Fold in the tablespoon of milk.
Turn into a greased 7 inch tin ( or two sandwich tins).
Bake for 30-40 minutes at gas mark 4, 180° C (or for 25-30 minutes for the sandwich tins).
When cool decorate with chocolate butter cream, melted chocolate, cream or just sift some icing sugar over the top.
