The family's favorite recipe for desserts are The Vanishing Mudpie and PF Chocolate Cake with choco frosting. The mudpie recipe was discovered accidentally. I did not have the right baking chocolate that time and used a drinking choco powder. It turned out heavenly. Our visitors always love it. But the ingredients requires more eggs and i have to use the food processor to beat the eggwhites.
Now sometimes, i don't have that amount of eggs and i lack the time to wash immediately my food processor. When you have a toddler, you know what i'm talking about. So i went on to search for an easier recipe. I want the cake sponge like, with interesting almost mysterious flavor - not just the butter and vanilla added to chocolate mix. So i came up with a recipe below. This is actually a take on Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Cake. I have made this several times and it always, always turns out good. Moreover, the ingredients are basic on the cupboard and you only need a hand mixer to make this delight.
Ingredients
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup caster sugar
1-3/4 cup flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1-1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla powder
1-1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup boiling water
Here's how
1. Preheat oven to 170 degrees C. Grease and line a 9-inch pan with baking parchment.
1. Whisk throroughly all the dry ingredients first in a large bowl.
2. Add milk, eggs, and oil. Beat on low speed for two minutes.
3. Pour the batter to the baking pan and bake for 30-45 minutes or until the cake tester comes out clean.
4. Cool completely before frosting
**Do not let your batter sit for too long outside the oven. Otherwise, the baking soda will lose it's rising properties.
