Ingredients:
500ml flour
190ml cocoa powder
7.5ml baking powder

pinch of salt
250ml milk
5ml vanilla essence
500ml sugar
125ml oil
250ml boiling water or hot coffee

250ml boiling water or hot coffee
2 eggs
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line two 23cm round cake pans, or one 23x33cm rectangular baking pan, with wax paper. Grease the paper and the sides of the pan well.
In a large bowl, sift the dry ingredients together.
Add the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla essence and beat with an electric mixer for about two minutes. Add the boiling water or coffee and mix until combined.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 30-40 minutes.
To test if the cake is ready, insert a toothpick into the middle of the pan. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready. A single rectangular cake will take slightly longer to bake than two round layers.
Slide a knife around the edge of each cake to loosen it from the pan, turn the pan over onto a metal rack and peel off the paper.
Let the cake cool completely before covering with icing of your choice.
