We are so happy with this Chocolate Cake recipe, it is beautiful as a simple birthday chocolate cake and even decadent enough as a chocolate fudge cake. You can use this amazingly easy cake as a base under fondant as well.

Ingredients

350g Self raising Flour (If using Plain add 1 tsp of baking powder too)

1 tsp Bicarb

Pinch of Salt

300g Caster Sugar

200g Light Brown Sugar

110g Cocoa Powder

250ml Cooled Boiled Water

200ml Vegetable Oil

4 Large Eggs

1.5 tsp Vanilla Extract

4 tbsp Buttermilk (you can make this with 4 tbsp of milk mixed with 1/2tsp lemon juice or vinegar.

Wait for 10 mins until curdled it's then ready to use)

METHOD

        Pre heat your oven 170C/150C Fan/Gas 3/325F

Line and grease 3 x 8-inch tins.

        Combine flour all the dry ingredients, bi- carb, baking powder, salt, sugars and cocoa using your spatula or hand whisk

         In another bowl, whisk together all of the wet, water, oil, eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk.

        Then, either on low with a stand mixer or using a whisk/spatula, mix together until fully combined.

Do not over mix, just until its all combined, this is a wet mix so don’t worry it is right.

        Pour into a jug and tip evenly into the tins.

         Put into the oven and pop your timer on for 30 to 40 minutes. (all timings vary in different ovens)

Cakes will be done when there is no wobble, and bounce back to the touch or a cocktail stick comes out clean.
