Allergens: Contains Wheat, Dairy.
Quantities are for the large mix – half for the small mix
Add from your pantry:
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups boiling water (1 ½ cups for cupcakes)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
Ingredients: Cane Sugar, Wheat Flour, Dutch Process Cocoa, Milk Powder, Sodium Bicarbonate (raising agent), Espresso Powder, Sea Salt.
Allergens: Contains Wheat, Dairy.
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F
- Prepare two 20cm cake pans by lining with baking paper and spray the edges lightly with oil. Not using paper will likely lead to the cake sticking to the pan, as it’s very moist. If you do not have baking paper, use a springform pan, grease it, and coat it with flour and cocoa.
- Add eggs, oil and vanilla (optional) in a large bowl. Mix at medium speed for 2 minutes with a whisk/mixer until slightly frothy. Add in the mix. The mix will be dry and crumbly.
- Stir in the boiling water last, and mix well until lumps dissolve. The batter will be thin; this is the secret to super moistness. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes in the preheated oven until the cake tests are done with a cake tester pulling out mainly clean.
- Remove from the oven, and leave in the pans for 10 minutes. Remove the cake and leave it to cool completely on a wire rack before icing.
For Cupcakes: Line the cupcake pan with paper liners and fill 2/3 full with batter. Bake cupcakes for 18-22 minutes. Cool completely before frosting. See our website for icing and additional recommendations.
