Extremely Chocolatey Butter Cake


I had to give the title of 'extremely chocolatey' because that is exactly how it is..:) A very firm cake.. but soft crumbed.. It was like eating a blown up chocolate.. :).. and needless to say, well loved by kids. The recipe is an adapted one. The 3/4 cup cocoa is a lot.. and I'm thinking of reducing it to 1/2 cup next time... :)


Ingredients

1 1/2 cup APF
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt
3/4 cup cocoa
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
115 g unsalted butter
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk

Prepare a 9 inch baking tin. Preheat the oven to 170deg C.
Sift the dry ingredients except sugar in a bowl.
Cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg and vanilla and beat well.
Add the buttermilk alternating with the flour mix.. Do not overmix.
Scrape into the pan and bake for about 50 mins or until done. I took 80 mins because my tin was smaller..
Unmold the cake and allow it to cool and enjoy it the next day.. :)
