Chocolate cake recipe:
butter
flour
sugar
coco
eggs
vanilla
baking powder
milk
you will also want a large bowl, and a cake pan. And an oven.
Doing this by weight, you will want an equal amount of butter flour and sugar. Figure out which you are running out of and use that. If the limiting factor is larger than your fist, you might not need to make that much cake, so choose a smaller amount.
Mix all of the butter and sugar together. Yeah that looks great. Add some eggs and a capful or two of vanilla. I put in two eggs, cause it looked right. if you are making more cake, put in more eggs. Mix the flour and baking powder together. Maybe... a couple large fistfuls and a very small palmful of baking powder. It'll be ok if you don't put enough baking powder, and maybe awful if you put too much. (I put the perfect amount in) Now mix in some chocolate. Put all of that together. If it looks weird add some more milk, maybe even some more butter.
Preheat the oven, since you probably haven't. Gas mark 5 sounds about right. This oven is electric but has gas marks... what?
Taste it- is it chocolatey enough? no? Man, you can add more chocolate! Does the batter look like cake batter? great! This is going to be amazing, dude! pour it into the cake pan. A rubber or plastic spatula might be useful for this. One could also use fingers I suppose.
Put that shit in the oven. Check on it a bit later. It'll take any where from 20 min to an hour. I wasn't keeping track of how long mine took. Magic told me to (tell Sam to) check on it at the perfect time. If you are sober that will help, I'm afraid you might forget otherwise. Then you would have NO CAKE and have to clean up a mess anyways. Don't do that, man.
Then maybe you should whip up some whip cream for on top. We all know this cake was an excuse for whip cream, right? Oh I forgot to mention. Well you can see from the picture that this is a half cake, half whip cream situation. put a little sugar and vanilla in your cream if you know whats good for ya.
