INSTRUCTIONS
Rich Chocolate Cake (Australian Womens Weekly)
Very easy and very good

2 c self-raising flour
1-3/4 c sugar
2/3 c cocoa
dash of salt
2 tsp. Vanilla
¾ c (180 gr) butter
3 eggs
1 c water

Have ready a well greased and floured 9 inch cake pan (or line w/ paper).

Put all ingredients in bowl. Mix on low until everything is moistened, scrape bowl. Mix on high for 3 minutes until mixture is paler and aerated. Spread in pan. Bake in preheated 350° oven for about 1-1/2 hours. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, release onto cooling rack.

Notes: be careful to not underbake the cake, testing for doneness is best!
I like to spread the cooled cake w/ some whipped cream and arrange cherries on top,
Therefore I make two layers from the recipe as the cake is quite high and domes if
Baked in one pan.
