There is nothing more relaxing than being in the kitchen by myself and baking. Today I decided to surprise the kids with their favourite homemade chocolate cake.... they love when there is a cake waiting for them 'just because'!!
I have tried many recipes over the years that claim to be the 'best chocolate cake' but in the end I have created my own. When you have a good thing, you stick to it!!
Ingredients:
A little butter to grease the pans
Flour to dust over the butter in plans
Cake:
2 cups of all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup of sour cream
1 1/3 cup of water
3/4 cup of melted milk chocolate
Bake at 350 C for 35 minutes.
Icing:
1 pound of room temperature butter
1/2 cup of cocoa powder
4 cups of icing sugar
1/2 cup of melted milk chocolate (incorporate the chocolate when all the other ingredients have been mixed together)
