\n<\/span><\/h2>\nIngredients<\/strong><\/span>
\n2 cups \t\tsifted plain flour
\n2 teaspoons \t\tbaking powder
\n155g \t\t\tbutter or margarine, softened
\n2 cups \t\tsugar
\n3 teaspoons \t\tvanilla essence
\n2 \t\t\teggs
\n2\/3 cup \t\tsifted cocoa
\n1 \u00bc cups \t\tmilk<\/h3>\nMethod<\/strong><\/span>
\nSift together flour and baking powder. Beat butter, sugar and vanilla until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in cocoa. Add milk alternately with sifted dry ingredients in 3 lots, beating well after each addition. Pour into a 9 cup cake tin, lightly greased or lined with baking paper. Bake in a moderate oven (180\u00baC \/ fan forced 160\u00baC) until skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool cake in tin for 2 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool.<\/h3>\nNotes:<\/strong>
\nWhen trying to cook in a new oven I found a few extra steps helped keep the cake moist, especially for larger cakes if the recipe was doubled. Line the tin with Glad Bake or greaseproof paper and lay a sheet across the top of the cake mix. Wrap the tin in a layer of brown paper which allows the cake to cook more slowly. Remove cake from oven as soon as it is \u2019just\u2019 cooked. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\nTurn the cake onto a rack but leave it in the tin so the cake virtually steams in tin. (This is why the cake should not cook over the \u2018just \u2019cooked stage). Turning it upside down also flattens the cake, which can be useful if the cake is to be decorated.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\nCut the cake in half horizontally and fill with chocolate ganache (heat equal quantities of cream and good quality dark chocolate until chocolate melts).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Not only easy but versatile with novelty cooking & serving suggestions!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,87],"tags":[24,26,25,140],"class_list":["post-137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-easy-recipes","category-cakes-easy-recipes","tag-chocolate-cake-recipe","tag-cupcakes","tag-novelty-cakes","tag-easy-recipes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brigidtreloar.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brigidtreloar.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brigidtreloar.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brigidtreloar.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brigidtreloar.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/brigidtreloar.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":138,"href":"https:\/\/brigidtreloar.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137\/revisions\/138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brigidtreloar.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brigidtreloar.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brigidtreloar.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Cool cake in tin for 2 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool.<\/h3>\nNotes:<\/strong>
\nWhen trying to cook in a new oven I found a few extra steps helped keep the cake moist, especially for larger cakes if the recipe was doubled. Line the tin with Glad Bake or greaseproof paper and lay a sheet across the top of the cake mix. Wrap the tin in a layer of brown paper which allows the cake to cook more slowly. Remove cake from oven as soon as it is \u2019just\u2019 cooked. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\nTurn the cake onto a rack but leave it in the tin so the cake virtually steams in tin. (This is why the cake should not cook over the \u2018just \u2019cooked stage). Turning it upside down also flattens the cake, which can be useful if the cake is to be decorated.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\nCut the cake in half horizontally and fill with chocolate ganache (heat equal quantities of cream and good quality dark chocolate until chocolate melts).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Not only easy but versatile with novelty cooking & serving suggestions!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23,87],"tags":[24,26,25,140],"class_list":["post-137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-easy-recipes","category-cakes-easy-recipes","tag-chocolate-cake-recipe","tag-cupcakes","tag-novelty-cakes","tag-easy-recipes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brigidtreloar.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brigidtreloar.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brigidtreloar.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brigidtreloar.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brigidtreloar.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/brigidtreloar.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":138,"href":"https:\/\/brigidtreloar.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137\/revisions\/138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brigidtreloar.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brigidtreloar.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brigidtreloar.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
