Whacky Cake

Cakes - Chocolate - -

INGREDIENTS

465 grams / 1 pound self raising flour
2 teaspoons of cocoa powder
310 grams / 11 ounces of sugar
1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
155 grams / 6 ounces of melted margarine
385 milliliters / 13 fluid ounces hot water
1 teaspoon of vinegar
Few drops of vanilla essence

METHOD

Sift the dry ingredients together into a bowl. Pour all of the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir well until it is all thoroughly mixed. Pour into a very well greased/lined cake tin. Bake at 180C/350F for 45 minutes.

NOTES

This cake is a bar cake and so you would be best to use a low, wide, flattish square cake tin. What you get is a sticky, chocolaty, not-too-sweet cake that only rises a little but tastes great. It kept for three days in an airtight tin (I wanted to eat it all at once but Theresa wouldn't let me!).

Enjoy!
