Chocolate Cake

I like cake.  I especially like chocolate cake ... even more since the DH (Dear Husband) isn't a huge fan of chocolate ... so I get to eat most of it myself.  Not the best for the waist-line, but needs must and I had run out of butter, so this is what gets baked when we run out of butter.

Here is my favorite chocolate cake recipe.  Put it all in a bowl/mixer - turn said mixer on, or use your wonderful arm muscles and beat for 5 mins.  Should be a bit on the runny side.  Fill up roasting dish or two 20cm round dishes.  Doesn't rise a huge amount.  Whatever 'cup' you use, make sure you use the same one.  I always just use one of the coffee mugs on the window sill, so probably a bit more than your standard measureing cup.  Bake at around 170 for around 1/2 an hour ... check to see if it's ready.  Not very scientific, but every oven is different.

The Ingredients: 1 cup oil, 1 cup milk, 1 cup strong coffee, 2 large eggs, 1 and 3/4 cup sugar, 2 cups (heaped)  flour, 1 level tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, glug of vanilla, 1/2 cup cocoa. 

Enjoy!!  And please share you favorite recipe with me!!!
