Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the 2 teaspoons of butter. Set it aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of dry cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 cup of self-raising flour, and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose white wheat flour. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In another mixing bowl, beat the 3 eggs. Add the melted butter and 3/4 cup of milk. Stir until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix to ensure the cake remains tender.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of powdered sugar with a few tablespoons of milk, mixing until smooth. The icing should be thick but spreadable. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the icing evenly over the top. Allow the icing to set for a few minutes before serving.
- Your quick-mix chocolate cake is ready to be enjoyed! Slice and serve with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of coffee.
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This helps the batter to combine more smoothly.
- Sift your cocoa powder and flours to avoid any lumps and ensure a finer texture in your cake.
- Grease and line your cake pan with parchment paper to ensure the cake comes out easily after baking.
- Do not overmix the batter; mix just until incorporated to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- Use a toothpick to check for doneness. Insert it into the center of the cake, and if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
With its straightforward preparation and delicious outcome, this Quick-mix Chocolate Cake is sure to become a go-to recipe in your baking repertoire. Its delightful taste and ease of cooking make it perfect for any occasion, from casual get-togethers to more formal celebrations. Enjoy your homemade chocolate cake!
