One Bowl Wonder Chocolate Cake

Cake:

• 3 cups White Wings plain flour
• 2 cups CSR White Sugar
• ½ cup cocoa
• 2 tsp bicarbonate soda
• 1 tsp salt
• ¾ cup sunflower or vegetable oil
• 2 tbs white vinegar
• 2 tsp vanilla essence
• 2 cups cold water

Ganache:

• 200g milk cooking chocolate, chopped
• ⅓ cup cream

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C fan forced. Grease and line the base of a 22cm or 23cm cake pan.
2. Sift the dry ingredients together into bowl and mix to combine. Make three deep wells in the mixture with the base of a measuring cup or spoon. Pour the oil into one well, vinegar into the second and vanilla into the third. Pour cold water over the top and stir well with a fork or whisk. Pour into the pan.
3. Bake for 1 hr and 10 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake come out clean with only some moist crumbs sticking to it. Allow to cool for 10 mins, then gently remove from the pan onto a cooking rack. Cool completely.
4. For the ganache, heat cream in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate until it has melted and the mixture is smooth. Spread over the cooled cake or refrigerate until it has thickened and then spread over the cake.
