EGGLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups of plain flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp sodium bicarbonate
400 grms condensed milk
150 grm melted butter
2 tsp vanilla essence
150 ml water

The Chocolate Icing:
225 grms cooking chocolate
100 grms unsalted butter

Method:

Preheat the oven for 10 minutes at 150 degrees C
Grease and line a 9 inch cake pan with parchment paper.

Sieve the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda,
about 3 times. Put them in a bowl.
In the same bowl, add in the condensed milk, melted cooled butter,
vanilla essence and the water.

Use a electric hand mix and whisk for about 1 minute.
The mixture should be uniform and smooth.
Be careful not to OVER BEAT.

Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for about 1 hour.
Or till the cake is cooked. Remove and cool for 10 minutes,
before over turning into a rack to cool.

The Chocolate Icing:
Break the chocolate into chunks, melt it slowly in a bowl over a
pan of hot water. (Double boiler)
mix in the butter and stir until the icing has the consistency
of thick pouring cream. Place the cake on a cake plate.
Pour the icing over the cake, smooth the top and the sides,
with a palette knife. Use a zigzag knife to make pattern.
Allow to set.
