Step-by-Step Guide: Quick & Easy Chocolate Cake Recipe

I was forever looking for a quick and easy chocolate cake recipe until I discovered this one!

I love simplicity, but I also love receiving compliments when it comes to producing something from the kitchen. So, this easy chocolate cake recipe is a divine combination of both!

Before I continue, please accept my apologies for the photo! I was all set to decorate and style the cake beautifully for the photoshoot, but oh my word, this cake had not even cooled off properly, before the first slice was cut. And before you know it, my photo opportunity was gone!!

Step 2: Once done, mix the 4 egg whites in the mixer until firm, and keep it on one side for later use.

Step 3: To get the chocolate flavor mix 75ml cacao with ½ cup boiling water, until smooth. Allow it to cool down a bit. (I gave it about 5 minutes to cool down.)

Step 4: Add 1 cup cake flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder to the oil mixture.

Step 5: Add the cacao mixture and fold the egg whites into the almost ready-to-bake mixture.

Bake for 45 minutes at 180°C.

How to make the chocolate cake's sauce

And here comes the secret! This cake recipe has a sauce that you will pour over the cake the moment the cake is done baking. Pour the sauce slowly so it filters into the cake evenly.

For the sauce you need to bring to boil (a minute before the cake is ready):

1 + ⅔ cups Ideal Milk
½ cup sugar
1 tablespoon butter

And that’s it! A very tasty, super yummy, and super easy chocolate cake!

Optional creative ideas...

This cake tastes really good just the way it is. And guess what? I’ve served it as it is and everyone loved it! But hey, if you want to make it look a little fancier with just a tiny extra touch, I’ve got a couple of ideas for you. And the best part? It’s just as simple as baking the cake itself.

Spread a thin layer of caramel on top, and decorate with chocolate flakes. (Cadbury’s Flakes work wonders too!)

Decorate with chocolate icing.

How to make chocolate icing in just 5 minutes...

1 cup soft icing mixture
2 tbsp cocoa powder
40g salted butter
1 tbsp milk

Mix it...

Sift your dry ingredients into a medium-sized bowl.
Add the butter and milk and mix it all at low speed using your electric mixer.
Once the mixture is smooth, increase the speed to medium for a further 2 minutes.
