Total Time:
70 minutes
Ingredients:
  • Melted butter, for greasing
  • 265g (1 1/3 cups, firmly packed) brown sugar
  • 185ml (3/4 cup) milk
  • 125g butter, cubed
  • 50g (1/2 cup) cocoa powder
  • 0.63 gm bicarbonate of soda
  • 150g (1 cup) self-raising flour
  • 40.00 ml plain flour
  • 3 eggs
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 160°C. Lightly grease a 19cm square cake pan with melted butter, ensuring all sides are coated. Use non-stick baking paper to line the base and sides of the pan for easy removal after baking.
  • In a large saucepan, combine sugar, milk, and butter. Sprinkle cocoa powder and bicarbonate of soda over the top through a fine sieve to keep the mixture smooth and ensure an even-textured cake.
  • Heat the pan over gentle heat and whisk until the mixture is silky. Avoid boiling to prevent evaporation. Take off the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes. Keep the mixture warm, not hot, to avoid cooking the eggs.
  • Sift half of the self-raising and plain flours into the pan using a fine sieve. Stir with a whisk until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. Repeat with the remaining flours. Mix in the eggs until well combined.
  • Transfer the mixture into the pan and lightly tap it on a surface to remove air bubbles. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool for 2 minutes before flipping it onto a wire rack, then cool completely.
