Monday Food ~ Grannymar’s Chocolate Cake

This recipe is very quick and easy using the all-in-one method. I have no recollection of where I got it, but it has always disappeared quickly. Requests to bake it for school teachers’ birthdays, youth fellowship, mother’s union and family gatherings were as regular as night following day. I have at times served it for dessert with Maud’s Pooh Bear Ice Cream.

A word of warning: Don’t tell Elly you are baking it or she will appear from nowhere with a hungry look on her face!

Chocolate Cake Preheat oven to 190ºC

175gr Butter

175gr Dark brown sugar

4 Eggs beaten

100gr Self Raising Flour

1 level tsp baking powder

1 tsp honey

100gr Drinking Chocolate

1 dessertspoon milk

A few drops vanilla Essence

Whisk together and pour into a well greased Ring Tin and bake for 30-35 minutes. Cool for a few minutes in tin. Turn out and when cold decorate with icing.

No licking the bowl unless you are Five!
