Im looking for a recipe for a really nice, but not too rich (and fairly simple) choc cake for my neices first birthday.
I want to make it in advance, freeze it, then get it out and ice a day or 2 before the party. TIA |

| oh cool thanks! Do u think its suitable to make in advance and freeze? They want a really large '1' shaped cake, so I think I will have to make at least 2 normal sized cakes, and Im not gonna be able to do that while Isla is with me, so I thought I would make one at a time when I get a chance, over the next 2 weeks! |

This is my favourite recipe ...
Sift Together: 2 cups Flour 1tsp Baking Powder 2tsp Baking Soda 3/4 cup Cocoa 1.5 cups Sugar Melt: 100gms Butter Beat: 2 eggs into 1C Milk Mix wet into dry Add: 1C Black Coffee with 1tsp Vanilla Essence Bake 180ºC for 50mins NOTES: The 1C of Black Coffee is not coffee powder, it’s a cup of warm water & I usually put 3 -> 4 good tsps of coffee in it (like ur making a really strong cup of black coffee)… and I also usually add more like 2tsp of Vanilla essence as well Baking usually takes more like 60mins but check every few mins after 50mins has passed so you don’t overcook it – all depends on what type of oven you have And YES, the mixture is meant to be quite runny – don’t be shocked… if u’ve followed the recipe, it’ll be fine ENJOY!! -------------

Sorry - just reread back the thread - probably not the best for children as it has coffee in it. I haven't tried substituting different liquid though. -------------
