TIME REQUIRED:

Mixing Ingredients: 15 minutes

Bake time: 40 minutes

Cooling time: 1 hour

TOTAL TIME: 2hours

Ingredients:

• 2 Cups of all purpose flour (maida / white flour)

• 2 Cups of Sugar

• 2/3rd Cups of Cocoa Powder

• 2 Teaspoons of Baking Powder

• 1.5tsp (One and a half) Teaspoons of Baking Soda

• 1 teaspoon of Coffee Powder

• 1 teaspoon of Salt

• 1 cup of Milk

• ½ a Cup of vegetable oil - I’m using refined sunflower oil

• 2 large eggs

• 2 teaspoons vanilla essence

• 2/3rd cup of hot water

Instructions:

You’ll need two bowls for this recipe.

• Step 1 - In one bowl combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix them all together nicely.

• Step 2 - In another bowl, take the sugar, milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla essence and mix them all together nicely. You can mix them till the wet ingredients are just combined - you don’t have to worry about the sugar dissolving at this point.

• Step 3 - Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix them up nicely - you can use a whisk to do this by hand, or you can use a stand mixer or hand mixer - whatever you have at your disposal. But really this recipe is SO EASY, you could literally say that it is just a whisk away!

• Step 4 - Lastly, mix the coffee powder into the hot water and add this into your batter. Mix it well, till you get a nice glossy consistency. Remember, this cake batter is going to be very liquidy - that’s normal - don’t worry about it. It’s gonna result is the most moist and spongy chocolate cake ever!

• Step 5 - Prepare a large baking tin and line it with some parchment paper.

• Step 6 - Next, prepare the sides, and then it’s time to pour in the batter!

• Step 7 - Once you’ve poured the batter in, bake your cake for 30 to 40 minutes at 170°C or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean!

• Step 8 - Let your cake cool down for about an hour.

You can enjoy this cake as it is, or you can decorate it with some frosting or ganache.
