200g sugar
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
55 g butter
1 egg
240 ml / 9 fluid ounces hot water
50 g dark chocolate
Preheat oven to 180c/350F, and grease and line a baking tin with grease proof paper.
Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and cocoa powder together in a bowl. Using your fingers rub the margarine in until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the beaten egg and hot water and mix well with a wooden spoon until combined, then add the broken chocolate pieces.
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for about 30 mins.
This is so easy to make, and instead of making a tray cake, you can use the mixture to make chocolate muffins too.....they are so yummy....or like I did make a big cake....
