Chocolate Cake in the Oven in 10 mins!

This has got to be one of the easiest chocolate sponge cakes I've ever come across :)

It's super quick to prepare, light, tasty, is made from ingredients that most of us are likely to have in the cupboard already and very versatile, what more could a mum ask for?

Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

225g Plain Flour

200g Castor Sugar

50g Cocoa

1 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda

1 tsp Salt

1 tsp Vanilla Essence

1 tsp Vinegar

5 tbs Olive Oil

7 1/2 fl oz water

 

Method

 

  1. Sift the floor, sugar and cocoa into a large bowl
  2. Make three holes in the top of these ingredients
  3. In the first put the vinegar and vanilla
  4. In the second put the bicarb and salt
  5. In the third put the oil
  6. Then pour the water over everything
  7. Stir very thoroughly
  8. Put the oven on to 180 C/ 350 F/ GM 4
  9. Pour the mix into an ungreased 8" baking tin
  10. Cook for 30-35 mins (depends on over type)
  11. Leave to cool for 10-15 mins then cut up and take out, leaving it on a wire rack to cool.
I've made these many times in round tins too and made them into birthday cakes with a layer of cream, jam etc in the middle. You could add a couple of handfuls of dried fruit or chocolate buttons to make a variation.
They go down great in packed lunches and it's so quick to make you can cook it whilst your dinner's cooking and have some with custard for pudding :)
