Which recipe for chocolate cake is it!!?
Chocolate Cake Ingredients: 2 cups sugar 2 eggs 2Tbsp golden syrup (or light treacle, they’re the same thing) 250g butter 4 cups flour 6 Tbsp cocoa 4 tsp baking powder 600ml milk 2 tsp vanilla essence (if you use real vanilla extract you’ll want to reduce this quantity) 2 tsp baking soda Method: Preheat oven to 180 celcius (around 350 Fahrenheit). I use fan bake, but if that’s not an option for you it’ll just take a little longer – no sweat! Cream butter, sugar, golden syrup and eggs together. I am usually quite generous with the golden syrup, as it moistens the cake, which I don’t think is ever a bad thing! Add flour, cocoa and baking powder and mix. Warm milk, vanilla essence and baking soda, and then gradually beat into the rest of the mix. Once you have a smooth batter (it’s quite thin, don’t worry about this!), pour into a 25cm round tin. I use non-stick springform tins, and find I don’t need to grease them at all, but if you don’t have this luxury (which I definitely recommend!)
