BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE EVER

Best Chocolate cake ever resep kom van Anna Cameron van NZ.

Ek het hierdie koek die laaste maand al 5 keer gebak. Ek gebruik wel ‘n 17 cm pan en bak 2 kleintjies vir 40 min elk. Die resep word oorspronklik in een groot pan van 25 cm gebak vir ±40 min, maar kan langer neem aangesien dit meer deeg en ‘n groter pan is.

260 g flour
375 g sugar
75 g sifted cocoa powder
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1½ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
125 ml oil (I use Canola)
250 ml cup milk
250 ml boiling water
Preheat your oven to 160° C.
Prepare a 25 cm square or round cake tin by greasing and lining the base and sides with baking paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined, or you can use a stand mixer.
Add the eggs, vanilla, oil, and milk, whisking until smooth and lump free.
Slowly stir in the boiling water then whisk until fully blended, the mixture will be very runny, this is normal.
Pour the batter into your prepared tin and bake for 45 – 60 minutes, checking from 40 minutes as all ovens vary.
The cake is done when it springs back to the touch and a skewer comes out clean with no wet batter.
Let the cake cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
