My Friend the Chocolate Cake

My Friend the Chocolate Cake are a great band. You should check them out here. This post is not about them though. This is about my friend, the chocolate cake.

I'm not a fancy artist. I write pop music, not post modern jazz. I sew A-line frocks, not wedding gowns. I knit booties, not cardigans. And I bake cakes. This is one of my favourite, simplest recipes. Called "Simplicity Chocolate Cake" and found in the 1975 Edition "Recipes For Busy Mothers" compiled by the Nursing Mothers' Association of Australia, I like to whip this one up every once in a while and throw it down with a nice pot of tea. What better way to enjoy the last few hours of the weekend on a Sunday night!
