Lois' Chocolate Cake

This is a family favourite that was given to my mum by Lois who was a dear friend of hers. The best thing about this recipe is that you just put it all in together to beat up. It is a really lovely moist chocolate cake that anyone can make because it is so easy to make and it never fails.

PREPARATION:

4 tablespoons butter
1 cup SR flour
1/4 cup cocoa
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
vanilla essence

Melt butter in saucepan. Sift flour and cocoa together into large mixing bowl. Add sugar, eggs, milk and melted butter. Beat on high for 3 minutes. Pour into a greased ring tin and cook 30 - 35 minutes at 350 degrees for gas oven and 370 for electric oven.
Turn onto a wire cooling rack and when cool, frost with chocolate icing.

Icing
2 tablespoons cocoa
2 level tablespoons of butter
little milk
little vanilla essence
1-2 cups icing sugar.
Melt butter in small saucepan. Add vanilla essence and half icing sugar and all of cocoa. Keep adding small amounts of milk and icing sugar until smooth and thick. Spread over cake and sprinkle some coconut or walnuts on top for decoration.
