This cake is so chocolatey and delicious!!! 

We served it alongside custard but a nice ganache or glaze over the top would be lovely. Ice cream and fresh raspberries would be even better! Yum. 
 
This is so simple it’s one of my go to recipes. The trick to a nice moist cake is not over cooking it. Dont worry if you do, buttercream icing solves everything!

  • 3 eggs
  • 300g self raising flour
  • 50g cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees.

  4. Blitz on speed 5 for 30 seconds.
  5. Scrape down.
  6. Add sugar and vanilla.

  11. Blitz on speed 3 for 1 minute.
  12. Pour into prepared tin.
  13. Bake for approximately 30-45 mins. Check that it is cooked through with a skewer. If not, pop in for a little longer. The time will depend on you tin and oven.
  14. Remove and cool slightly before cooling on a wire rack.
