Chocolate snack cake | Easy Teatime Chocolate cake recipe

     

     This Chocolate Snack Cake is moist, tender, spongy, delicious and even better a day or two after baking! 

      This isn’t a cake to serve for a special occasion. 

      You could cut it into pieces and snack on it anytime. It always satisfies our sweet tooth.

 

      This snack cake is so good that icing is not necessary. 

      I like to top it simply with powdered sugar, but you could also spread a creamy chocolate frosting on top. 

      It's a perfect cake for late-night chocolate cravings. Keep a batch in the fridge at all times!

How to Make Chocolate snack cake - Step by Step Instructions 

 Line a loaf tin with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 180°C. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.

Mix well and set aside.

Beat the eggs with an electric hand mixer until foamy for about 2 - 3 minutes.

Then add the sugar and continue beating for about 4 - 5 minutes.

Not whipping the egg mixture long enough will yield a dense cake.

Pour in the flavourless oil and vanilla extract.

Gradually add in the dry ingredients and milk.

Gently whisk the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

Pour onto the prepared baking pan. Tap the pan several times to remove large air bubbles.

Bake the cake at 180°C for 30 - 35 minutes. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Carefully run a knife around the edges of the pan, invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
