Baking pan chocolate cake

Step 1/6

Preheat the oven to 175C and place the baking rack on the bottom shelf.

Step 2/6

• 350 g sugar
• 175 g flour
• 4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 tsp vanilla sugar
• 3 tsp baking powder

• whisk

Into a large bowl combine all the dry ingredients and mix them well together.

Step 3/6

• 250 g butter (melted)
• 3 eggs
• 200 ml water (hot)

Add in the melted butter and the eggs, one at a time, and combine the mixture until smooth and lump-free. Add in the hot water and whisk it well - the batter will be quite wet, but that’s the point.

Step 4/6

• baking pan
• rubber spatula

Pour the mixture in a baking pan lined with baking paper - I used a pan that’s around 25 x 30 cm.

Step 5/6

• toothpick (optional)

Bake the cake for 35 minutes on the bottom shelf. You can always check if the cake is baked by poking a toothpick in the center - if it comes out clean/a little crumby, it’s baked all the way through.
