Preparation time 10 mins and cooking 20 minutes plus time for cooling, icing and eating.
For 9” cake tins just triple the mixture!
Ingredients
- 4 oz self raising flour
- 4oz soft margarine
- 4oz castor sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 level tsp baking powder
- 1 heaped tablespoon cocoa
- 2 tablespoons of boiling water
What you do…
- Melt the cocoa with the water
- Shove everything in a mixer/food processor and mix until combined.
- Pour into two 6” round cake tins – greased and lined (or something similar)
- Pop in a preheated oven, 170 degrees for 20 minutes or until brown (when you lightly press with your finger they are firm but bounce back a bit).
- Take out, cool for a couple of minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- You can then either sandwich them together with cream or make up some icing with icing sugar, a tsp of cocoa powder and a tsp of hot water. Ice the top too and decorate.
