Chocolate cake

I made chocolate cake, a bit simpler than last week's custard creams but who cares? Cake is tasty.

To make chocolate cake you just make normal cake and add in a few tablespoons of cocoa powder. But this recipe I used is from the Good Food recipe book - Cupcakes and Muffins. It is a cupcake recipe but just put it in a tin instead of cupcakes cases and it still works.

So all you need is 8 tablespoons of butter and then mix it with 150 grams of sugar. I like using a brown sugar because it makes the cake have a fudge taste to it.

Then beat in two eggs. Then add 100 grams of plain flour and a teaspoon of baking powder. Fold these dry ingredients into the mixture.

Then the recipe says to add two tablespoons of cocoa powder but I added an extra half a tablespoon to make it more chocolatey.

Put in a greased cake tin and put in the oven for about 30 minutes at gas mark 3. Then you have yummy cake.
