👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1HOW TO MAKE CRAZY CHOCOLATE CAKE.Have all the ingredients measured and set on a tray to be used as needed.
2. 2Sift all the dry ingredients into a bowl.
3. 3This would be flour(1 and 1/2 cup), cocoa powder(1/4 cup), salt(1/2 tsp).
4. 4Mix sugar(1 cup) and water(1 cup) together, stir until sugar is completely dissolved. read beginner’s notes on this if you skipped it.
5. 5As mentioned on the beginner’s notes, use an 8 x 8 pyrex or baking pan. add the dry ingredients to the baking pan.
6. 6You can also mix all the ingredients in a separate bowl before adding it to the baking dish if that is your preference.
7. 7With a dry spoon make three holes within the mixture.
8. 8To the first shallow crater, you add oil(1/3 cup oil. about 1/3 cup or 6 tablespoons), to the 2nd crater vanilla(1 tsp), to the 3rd, you add both soda(1 teaspoon), vinegar(1 tablespoon).
9. 9Now gently with a spoon combine all the ingredients.
10. 10At first, it might look as if the batter is clumpy but give it time and keep mixing using shallow swirly movement. do this with care as you don’t want to tear the foil as well.
11. 11Repeating again, if you are making this cake for the first time you have the option of doing this in a separate bowl and adding it to the baking pan.
12. 12Combine until you have the batter mixed, break any smaller clumps as you move the spoon through the cake mixture.
13. 13Preheat oven to 170C(338F) and bake for 25-30 minutes.
14. 14Insert a toothpick to check if the cake is cooked through. the stick should come out clean.
15. 15For me, the baking time was exactly 25 minutes, for you depending on altitude, this can be within the range of 25 to 30 minutes(please read beginner’s notes on this).
16. 16Immediately remove the baking pan from the oven and let it completely cool.
17. 17Do not try to remove the cake from the pan when it is still hot. leave it to cool completely.
18. 18While the cake cools, make this quick chocolate icing to smooth over the chocolate cake.
