Dark chocolate cake

Dark Chocolate comes with Extra Dark Truffle Filling

Recipe by Dania of london, GB

Ingredients non vegetarian 20 servings


  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1¾ cups flour
  • ¾ cup baking cocoa (dutch process or dark cocoa preferably)
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • 1½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾-1 cup boiling water
  • Directions

    1. Heat oven to 350°F.
    2. Grease and flour two 9 inch round baking pans or one 13x9 inch pan.
    3. In large mixer bowl, stir together dry ingredients.
    4. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
    5. Stir in boiling water by hand (batter will be thin). NOTE: I have tried it with 1/2 cup, 2/3 cup and 3/4 cup boiling water and we prefer it with less than 1 cup water. I usually use between 2/3 & 3/4 cups. The cake is still very moist but it doesn't seem to "fall" as much as it cools. This might have to do with our high humidity or brand of flour or other factors so I don't know if it will work for everyone.
    6. Pour into prepared pan.
    7. Bake 30 to 35 minutes for round 9-inch pans, 35 to 40 minutes for rectangular pan or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. (Do not use 8-inch pans or the batter will overflow.).
    8. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to wire racks.

    sorry, but this is a non - veg recipe.. even if you do try this recipe without "eggs" you would not get the real taste of a Dark chocolate cake and it might also turn out more bitter... MIGHT!!!
