Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons cocoa
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup self-rising flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 60g melted butter
• 1/2 cup milk

Steps

1. 1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
2. 2. Place all ingredients in a bowl.
3. 3. Beat with an electric beater until the mixture is smooth.
4. Pour into grease and base lined (baking paper on the bottom) cake tin.
5. Bake for approximately 40 minutes or until cooked when tested. Addfrosting, sprinkles, and any other sorts of decoration.

Tips

• Beat for around 3 minutes. This is a fairly wet mixture and the beating is important. Beat through enough to make a smooth batter but not too much that the air is taken out.
• Wash your hands.
• The tin should be approximately 9x19cm tall (size doesn't even really matter).
• Doesn't make too much batter.

Warnings

• If the cake is still wet and/or moist when tested place back in the oven for another 5 - 10 minutes. Test by inserting a clean metal skewer into the centre of the cake and when the skewer is pulled out, it should be clean. If there is a sign of batter on the skewer, the cake is not fully cooked.
