I have tried quite a few different recipes but I have never come across any recipes easier than this one. Nigella Lawson said every home cook should know at least one chocolate cake recipe. Well… this is the one I know.

Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line the base of a cake tin with baking paper and grease the sides.
2

Use a whisk to mix and blend all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add wet ingredients and mix very well until the texture is like chocolate mousse.
3

Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin and bake for 40 to 50 minutes OR until cooked through. Stand for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool.

I sliced the cooled cake in half and sandwiched Chocolate Ganache for the above photo. *Note: Chocolate Ganache can be easily made by mixing dark chocolate and warmed cream.
