Lorna's Devil's Food Cake

Been a little while since i last made a meeting due to the utter chaos of life around the holiday period, but it was lovely to be back and see everyone again! For the occasion i made a Devil's Food Loaf Cake. Nom.

Ingredients:

50g cocoa powder
230ml water
100g butter, softened
200g sugar
2 eggs
175g plain flour
1tsp baking powder
1tsp bicarb of soda
1tsp vanilla extract

Method:

Preheat the oven to 160C, and grease and line a large loaf tin.

In one bowl mix the coca with the water to a "smooth" paste (it looks a bit frothy and weird, but just do the best you can), and in another bowl beat the butter with the sugar and vanilla then beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the half the flour, the bicarb and the baking powder to the butter mix, then half the cocoa paste. Mix well, then mix in the rest of the flour and cocoa paste, stir until just combined.

Pour into your loaf tin, and bake for about 40 minutes. Leave it in the tin until completely cool, then turn out.
