Ingredients


1+录 cup (140 g) all-purpose flour


2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (dutched/dark)


2 teaspoons baking powder


2 pinches salt


1 cup (220 g) sugar


1 tablespoon vanilla essence


陆 cup (1.2 dl) milk or water


陆 cup (1.2 dl) vegetable oil (flavorless)


2 eggs


Preheat oven to 350 deg F (Gas mark 4 or 180 deg C)


Grease a 9 inch (23 cm) cake tin.


Mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, sugar and vanilla essence in a bowl.


Add milk/water, vegetable oil and eggs.


Mix everything together until smooth, either by hand or by using an electric mixer at slow speed. If the batter is too runny you may add slightly more flour.


Transfer to bake tin and bake at 350 degrees until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, approximately 35 to 45 minutes.


After the cake has cooled, slice the cake through the middle to make two layers (easier if the cake has been in the fridge).


Frosting
Prep Time: 25 minutes


Cook Time: 25 minutes


Ingredients:


3 (1 oz.) squares unsweetened chocolate


2/3 cup butter


1 cup water, heated


2 cups flour


2 cups sugar


3 tablespoons cocoa powder


pinch of salt


1-1/4 tsp. baking soda


1/2 cup buttermilk


2 eggs, beaten


2 tsp. vanilla


2 (1 oz.) squares unsweetened chocolate


1/3 cup butter


1/2 cup milk


4 cups powdered sugar


2 tsp. vanilla


pinch salt


Preparation:


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large saucepan, melt 3 squares chocolate and 2/3 cup butter in the hot water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Mix well with a wire whisk or eggbeater. Then stir in buttermilk, eggs, and 2 tsp. vanilla and beat until smooth. Pour into 13x9'; pan and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, until the top springs back when touched with a fingertip.


While the cake is baking, make the frosting. In a heavy saucepan, melt 2 squares chocolate and 1/4 cup butter together. Add powdered sugar, milk, 2 tsp. vanilla, and a pinch of salt and beat well. You may need to add more milk or powdered sugar to reach the desired consistency: the frosting should be pourable. W





hen the cake comes out of the oven, let cool for 15 minutes, then pour the frosting over. Spread if necessary, and let the cake cool. 16 servings
I know this is going to sound like a smart aleck answer, but its not intended as such. Go back to the store and take a look at the flour packet you previously purchased. I'm sure the recipes are there. You can either copy down the recipes or google the website for the flour.





Good luck!
