Easy Peasy Chocolate Cake … The only Recipe you’ll Ever Need 001

 

This is one of Mum’s recipes and my favourite chocolate cake in the whole wide world. It’s soooo easy to make because everything just gets thrown into a single bowl and whisked … no fancy ingredients, no electric mixers and very little mess … love it!  And the result is a delicious, light, fluffy cake with just the right amount of chocolate.

 

This little delight takes about 10 minutes to throw together, so next time someone calls and says they’re coming for a surprise visit, here’s the answer to your prayers.

 

And if you want to feel a little less guilty, don’t ice the cake! I very rarely ice a cake because that’s where a lot of calories like to hide … those sneaky little devils.  Instead, try dusting your cake with either icing sugar or a little extra cocoa and then throw on some fresh berries or other fruit.

 

Enjoy!
