Do you like chocolate cake? My children loved this one when they were young. They also loved making it as it was so easy to make. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does.

What you will need:

 1 tablespoon white vinegar

 1 cup milk

 1 1/2 cups plain flour

1/2 cup cocoa

1 1/2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda

1 1/4 cups sugar

145 grams butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 eggs, beaten

Method:

Set oven to 180 C and line and grease two x 20cm sandwich cake tins.

Add vinegar to the milk. 

Mix flour, cocoa, bicarb and sugar in a large bowl. 

Add the butter, eggs, vanilla and milk to the bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth (i.e. for about 2 minutes).

Pour into the prepared pans and cook for about 35-40 minutes. Test with a skewer to see if it is cooked. Cook for an additional 5 minutes if required.

When cool, sandwich together with raspberry jam and ice the top with chocolate icing. Or, you may just like to dust the top with icing sugar.

Enjoy!
