Cooking Instructions.
Begin by, greasing the inside of the cake pans with the same fat as you’ll be using in the cake. Now cut 2 circles of parchment paper, 1 for each pan - you can use a pan as a template - and then line the pan bases. Then grease the paper.
Now preheat the oven to 325°F. Next, sift the flour and the baking powder into a large bowl and then add the superfine sugar, margarine or butter and the eggs.
Then with an electric hand mixer or a wooden spoon beat the mixture until well blended.
Next, in a small bowl, mix together the cocoa powder with the boiling water; and then using a metal spoon, fold (slowly stir, lift and with the side of the spoon cut) this into the mixture until it is incorporated. The cake mixture should now be of a dropping consistency, this means that it should drop easily from a wooden spoon when shaken, if not just add a little tepid water.
Now divide the mixture between the prepared cake pans and level the tops.
