At home bake a cake and post the picture to show friends what you have made. Below you will see the recipe that I used at home and pictures of my cake. It didn’t last long at my house.

8 oz (200 grams)sugar
8 oz (200 grams) flour
1 oz (25 grams) cocoa

A little milk if needed
Icing
Icing sugar, cocoa, a spoon of margarine.

Method

Cream the margarine and sugar together in a baking bowl
Beat in the 2 eggs until lighter and creamy
Add the flour and cocoa, mix in gently
If the mixture is too dry add a little milk
Divide the mixture between 2, 7 or 8 inch, cake tins lined with baking paper or foil
Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for about 20-30 minutes, depending on your oven. It may take longer if you have the mixture in one large cake tin.
Leave to cool
For the icing, mix icing sugar, cocoa and margarine (there is not enough margarine to make the icing, when mixed add a very little boiling water, a drop at a time until all mixed together. Divide between both layers.
