Christmas Chocolate Cake

I will make this chocolate cake on this Christmas and i am sharing this recipe with you all. I think you will also try this cake.

Ingredients:

* 80g Cocoa powder
* 300ml Boiling water
* 250g Butter
* 550g Light muscovado sugar
* 4 Eggs. beaten
* 400g Plain flour
* 1 tsp. Bicarbonate of soda
* 0.5 tsp. Baking powder

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC / gas 4. Line the base and sides of a 20 cm springform cake tin.

2. Place the cocoa in a pan and slowly add the boiling water, stirring until smooth. Add the butter and sugar and warm over a low heat until the ingredients have melted together. Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly, then gradually add the eggs, beating them in.

3. Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder together and fold into the cocoa mixture. Pour it into the tin and bake for between 1 hour and 1 hour 45 minutes, then allow to cool. Turn it upside down onto a cooling rack and leave it to cool completely.

I will also try some other recipes like lasagna recipe, Indian recipes on this Christmas.
