RZ "QUICK CHOCOLATE CAKE" "Dangerously delicious chocolate cake"
IH "1 cake"
SH              CAKE MIXTURE
IG "1\(34\-2 cups" "self\-raising flour" "175\-200 g"
IG "1\(14 cups" "caster sugar," "250 g"
or white sugar chopped in the blender
IG "6 Tbsp" "cocoa," "50 g"
(Use more if you like)
IG "\(12 tsp" "bicarbonate of soda" "2 g"
IG "\(14 tsp" "salt" "1 g"
IG "2" "eggs"
IG "1 cup" "milk" "250 ml"
IG "4 oz" "butter or margarine" "120 g"
IG "\(12 Tsp" "vanilla" "2 ml"
SH              TOPPING

IG "3 oz" "cooking chocolate" "100 g"
IG "\(12 oz" "copha" "15 g"
IG "" "nuts"
PH
SK 1
Sift the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
Soften the butter and add with the milk and vanilla to dry ingredients.
SK 2
Beat for 2 mins with a wooden spoon or until smooth.
Add eggs and beat another 2 mins.
SK 3
Pour into
AB "an 8 inch" "a 20 cm"
round cake tin (I find the collapsible type best).  Cook in a moderate
TE "350\-375" "180"
oven for 1 hour.
SK 4
Turn the cooled cake over, slice into two layers and fill with cream.
Melt chocolate with copha (do not burn) and pour over cake, dribbling
it down the side. Decorate with almonds, pecans or walnuts.
NX
Self-raising flour is popular in Britain and Australia, and hard to find in
North America. Substitute
AB "2 cups" "200 g"
of ordinary all-purpose flour with
AB "\(12 tsp" "2.5 ml"
of salt and
AB "3 tsp" "15 ml"
of baking powder mixed in.
The North American equivalent of caster sugar is ``granulated sugar''.
There is no equivalent of copha, but a mixture of butter and coconut is
better than nothing. Crisco has the right cooking properties to substitute
for copha, but the wrong flavor.
PP
You can pour a little Grand Marnier into the cake before
spreading the cream in the middle, but it doesn't need it.
SH RATING
I Difficulty:
moderate.
I Time:
10 minutes preparation, 1 hour cooking, 1 hour to cool and 5 minutes
decorating. 5 minutes to eat.
I Precision:
Measure the ingredients, though the cocoa and cream are not critical.
