The Ultimate Chocolate Cake

I know that the title "The Ultimate Chocolate Cake" is a big claim to make, but I think once you'll try this recipe, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Although this reciepe only uses cocoa, it has a deep chocholate flavour and you´ll love it.



Here´s the recipe

The Ultimate Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:

2 cups (250 g) flour

1 teaspoon (6 g) salt

2 teaspoons (10 g) baking soda

1 teaspoon (5 g) baking powder

3/4 cup (69 g) unsweetened cocoa

2 cups (400 g) sugar

3/4 cup (180 ml) vegetable oil

1 cup(240 ml) hot coffee

1 cup (240 ml) milk

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon (4 g) vanilla

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 175°C; and line a round cake pan with parchment or wax circles.

Sift together flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa and sugar in a large mixing bowl.

Add the hot coffee, oil and milk and mix it for about 2 minutes.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the eggs and vanilla. Beat for 2 more minutes. This chocolate cake recipe has a very liquid batter.

Pour batter in prepared cake pans and bake for approx. 30 minutes. The cake is ready when an inserted wooden skewer or cake tester comes out clean or when cake springs back when lightly pressed with a finger.

Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Loosen the sides with a knife or metal spatula and invert to a metal rack. Invert again to another rack to prevent the cake from splitting.

I once made a Lightning McQueen out of that reciepe. Everyone loved the cake especially my son.
The McQueen pictures aren´t the best, but I haven´t found the better ones.
