Easy NO FAIL Chocolate Cake

Finally after years of looking for the perfect MOIST chocolate cake recipe, I finally found one that is easy, versatile and never fails! You can make it into a cake or cupcakes!
So here it is courtesy of www.bbc.co.uk/recipes (by Rachel Manley)

Ingredients:
- 225g plain flour
- 350g caster sugar
-85g cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 1/2 tsp baking powder
-2 free range eggs
-250ml milk
-125ml of vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
-250ml boiling water

STEPS:

1) Preheat the oven to 180 C , Grease and line a 20cm baking tin
2) Mix the eggs, sugar, milk,cocoa, vegetable oil and vanilla extract
3) Mix in flour, baking soda and baking powder
4) Then mix in the boiling water (the mixture will be slightly watery like chocolate milk)
5) Pour into the baking tin and cook for 40 mins or until a skewer inserted in the cake comes out clean.
VOILA your cake is ready.

Here are some tips that you can do:


Nutella Frosting


- To make the nutella easy to spread boil some water and place the jar in the water (baine marie) this will keep the nutella smooth and easy to spread
-Also to keep your plate clean, place aluminium foil all around the cake (see below) and when your are finished just remove them!



CUPCAKES

- This recipe makes about 24 cupcakes
-Follow the recipe as above, just place the mixture in cupcake tins instead of a cake tin
- IMPORTANT: the cupcakes take about 5-10mins to cook!! Be careful you don't burn them!
- Then you can frost them with butter icing or nutella!
