1. Grease a large oven save pyrex dish. Preheat oven at 180 degrees Celcius.

2. In a bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar and baking powder. You can use self-raising flour instead of flour and baking powder. Brown sugar also works well for this recipe.

3. Rub butter or margarine into dry ingredients or slice into flour with a knife. The mixture should now have the appearance of coarse cornflour.

4. In a pot, combine sugar, water, cocoa powder and vanilla. Allow it to simmer whilst you are preparing the flour mixture.

5. Mix cocoa powder with milk and combine with flour mixture. Mix until a thick cake batter consistency is achieved. Spoon into oven dish and spread mixture into the dish.

TIP: Use a large container and not a container that is of similar volume that the mixture. It tends to boil and bubble over!
