Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and milk. Whisk together until well blended.
- Gradually add the dry cocoa powder to the butter and milk mixture, whisking continuously to ensure there are no lumps. The mixture should be smooth and chocolaty.
- Stir in the baking soda, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and the all-purpose white wheat flour. This will help to remove any clumps and ensure the flour is light and airy.
- Gradually add the sifted flours into the wet chocolate mixture. Stir gently with a spatula or a wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Crack the eggs into the batter, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Ensure the eggs are fully integrated into the batter, resulting in a smooth and glossy mixture.
- Pour the prepared batter into the greased and floured cake pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick or cake tester into the center of the cake; it should come out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can frost the cake with your favorite icing, dust it with powdered sugar, or serve it plain with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before mixing to get a smooth batter.
- Sift the dry ingredients together to avoid any lumps in the batter.
- Use a good quality cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter once you add the dry ingredients to avoid a dense cake.
- Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting or serving to enhance the flavors.
