Description (Some HTML is OK)

My friend Sally was making a birthday cake for her son and was eulogising about this random cake recipe she'd found on the interwebs and used for his Lighting McQueen cake. So I thought I'd give it a go.

NB I've only included the recipe for the cake, not the buttercream icing that I used in this photo. Most packets of icing sugar have the recipe on the side, or you could use a ganache, or a liquor filling.


Ingredients

Makes 0 servings

  • 250 g plain flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp bicarb soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 70g unsweetened cocoa
  • 400g sugar
  • 185ml vegetable oil
  • 240ml hot coffee
  • 240ml milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence

Preparation (Some HTML is OK)

1. Preheat the oven to 180 deg C; and line 2 x 9" round cake pans with parchment or wax circles.
2. Sift together flour, salt, bicarb, baking powder, cocoa and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
3. Add the hot coffee, oil and milk and mix it for about 2 minutes.
4. 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.
5. Pour batter in prepared cake pans and bake for approx. 45 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.
6. Let the cake cool in pans 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.
