Donna Latter's Chocolate Butter Cake
This recipe is a CWA favourite and has been used for years in competition cookery for the Donna Latter Memorial Prize
Ingredients
125g butter
1 3/4 cups self raising flour
1 1/4 cups caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
2 eggs
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons cocoa
Method
Place all ingredients into a bowl & beat well until the chocolate mixture changes colour & all the ingredients are combined. A food processor can be used if you like
Grease and line a 20cm round tin
Pour the mixture into the tin. Bang the tin lightly on the bench to even out the mixture
Cook in a moderate oven for about 1 hour (this will depend on your oven) until cake is cooked
Hint: The cake will be ready when it springs back when touched in the centre, and the edge of the cake comes away from the tin
When cool, ice on top with chocolate icing
