I thought I'd share this recipe. It's the easiest ever! But also the yummiest. My daughter requested one earlier so we quickly whipped one up.
EASY CHOCOLATE CAKE 3 Tb butter, melted 1 cup sugar 1 cup SR flour 1 1/2 Tablespoons cocoa 1/2 cup milk 2 eggs Beat all ingredients together with electric beaters for 3 mins.

This does not seem like that much cocoa, even accounting for the smaller amounts of the other ingredients. It also seems to have a lot of egg for the quantity of the other ingredients. How was the texture? How chocolatey did it taste?

It's perfect, I've been making it for years, it's quite light, I suppose if you want it more chocolatey you could add more cocoa. But I get lots of compliments about it as it is. and it's just so easy.

While not a 'cake' in the use of flour there is a very good and even simpler recipe, a chocolate torte using only 1 pound chocolate, 1 pound unsalted butter and 6 eggs.
If anyone's interested i can post the instructions. --- JL

Jen - was this recipe from an Australian source? So it would use 20ml tablespoons and 250ml cups?

That's the way I've always done it. I never used to know there was a difference. But I've never been that exact with measurements anyway.
Thanks. Just wanted to know in case I try it! Usually if I post a recipe on here I'll note that it's Australian tablespoons and cups. A lot of the time it might not make too much of a difference, but I figure if anyone in a country other than Australia wants to make it, they might like to know.
