Simple Yummy Chocolate Cake

Method

• step 1

  Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.

• step 2

  Grease and line a 20cm/8in tin.

• step 3

  Place all of the cake ingredients, except the boiling water, into a large mixing bow and beat the mixture until smooth and well combined.

• step 4

  Add the boiling water to the mixture, a little at a time, until smooth. (The cake mixture will now be very liquid.)

• step 5

  Pour the liquid into the prepared tin and bake in the oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.

• step 6

  Remove the cake from the oven and allow to cool completely, still in the tin, before turning out.

• step 7

  Decorate as desired.
