By: Chrissyo

A quick, easy and extremely good chocolate cake. My mother often baked this cake for the jackaroos (cowboys) when she was a cook on the cattle stations (ranch) in outback Australia. Be careful not to overcook this cake and it will stay moist and fresh for days. ENJOY. I use this recipe on a regular basis.
SERVES 6 -8 , 1 cake
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 2 tablespoons cocoa
- 1 cup self raising flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla or almond essence
Directions
1
Melt the butter.2
Put all the other ingredients into a large bowl and pour the melted butter on top on them.3
Beat on high for 3 minutes only.4
Pour the mixture into a prepared cake tin and bake in a moderate oven.5
The baking time will depend on the size and shape of your cake tin.6
Be careful not to overcook this cake and it will be deliciously moist and fresh days after it is baked.7
Ice with your favourite chocolate icing/frosting or top with fresh or mock cream sweetened and flavoured with vanilla or rum, and cover with grated chocolate or nuts.

I used a loaf pan and I think that may have been a mistake, at 175 degrees C in a fan forced oven it took 45 minutes to cook through and was slightly burnt on top, think I need to use a bigger cake tin and turn oven down to 170. DH felt it was a bit dry (but change of cake tin may change that) but it was very easy and quick to prepare. Will retrial and hopefully change rating. Thank you Chrissyo.

Far too sweet and not chocolatey at all. Really simple to make but I'm not sure it's worth it.

Very easy and simply delicious. I used almond flavoring and baked mine in a 8x8 baking dish. Baked it for 35 minutes. Great!! Thanks!

My daughters made this cake last night to surprise me, and I was very pleasantly surprised! Simplicity doesn't even begin to describe this cake, it was so easy to put together the 10 year old did most of it herself. We didn't have any self-raising flour in the house, so they used regular flour with a teaspoon of baking powder. Thanks Chrissy, your mom's cake is a winner!
