Simple Chocolate Cake

One of Mum's easy Chocolate cake recipes- source The Herald Sun 3 April 1991.

 
CHOCOLATE CAKE
 
INGREDIENTS
 
1 cup of sugar
2 eggs ( room temp)
1/2 cup of milk
I cup self raising flour
2 tablespoons of cocoa
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla essence
3 tablespoons of butter, melted.
 
METHOD
1. Place ingredients in the bowl in the order given.
2. Beat for 3 minutes
3. Cook in moderately hot oven for 30 minutes or until cooked when tested.
 
One of Mum's secrets with this recipe was to add 1/2 teaspoon of strong coffee powder with the cocoa to bring out the rich chocolate flavour.
 
She would use one of her many variations for chocolate icings to ice this cake, although eating it without icing is still delicious.
