Dana's Chocolate Cake

I have tested many chocolate cake recipes but this has come up trumps from them all. Altered from Sophie Gray Destitute Gourmet. It is moist and makes a good amount. It is the only chocolate cake I make now.

• Ready In: 1 hr 5 mins
• Serves: 4-6
• Yields: 1 Cake

Ingredients

• 1 2⁄3 cups flour
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 1⁄2 cups sugar
• 2⁄3 cup  cocoa
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 1 1⁄2 cups skim milk
• 100  g butter, melted
• 2  eggs
• 2  teaspoons vanilla
• 1  teaspoon coffee

• icing

• 25  g butter
• 1⁄3 cup  cocoa
• 1  cup icing sugar
• 1  teaspoon coffee
• 1  teaspoon vanilla essence
•  water or  milk

• OPTIONAL

• 2  tablespoons cream cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C Grease cake tin. Put all the main ingredients into a food processor and mix. Pour into the prepared tin. Bake for at least 50 minutes. (I found I need less time than this). The cake will rise a lot and when cooked the centre should spring back when gently pressed.
2. ICING: Mix above ingredients together with enough water or milk to make the icing consistency right. NB: You can make extra icing for a filling if you cut the cake in half horizonally.
