Quick ' n Easy Chocolate Chip Cake

My version of a Quick ' n Easy Chocolate Chip Cake 

Its the festive season and we are all looking for an easy treat that works well with just about anything.Lets  say its the weekend and one decides to go for a drive to a beautiful spot later in the day. Coffee of course is a given but it would be really nice to have something to go with it.

That's when you can think of baking this quick and easy chocolate chip cake.Like everything else, practice makes for a better cake, so the second/third time you make it, it will taste even better!


Ingredients

3 cups all purpose flour

2 tsps baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2  tsp salt

1 cup unsalted butter

1/2 cup dark brown cocoa( I use Hersheys)

1 cup( or 3/4ths) if you want to use less) brown sugar

3 eggs

1 small pot/cup  yogurt

1 small bag Hersheys chocolate chips

Icing sugar for dusting on top



Method

Put all  the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix  briskly with a fork. Ensure that it is a smooth mix without any lumps otherwise the cake wont be as good as it should.

Mix all the wet ingredients together and repeat the same process of mixing them briskly.

Finally add the wet mixture to the dry one and drop the chocolate chips in, stirring gently. Do not try to push them in- it looks more interesting if the chips are actually visible in the cake.

Gently pour the mixture into a medium sized cake greased cake tin and let it settle in.

Bake in a pre heated oven at 100 degrees c for 35-45 mins and check to see  when its ready by inserting a toothpick. If it comes out dry, it is, but if there is some liquid mixture on the toothpick, it probably needs a few more minutes.


Leave to cool on a wire rack then transfer it on to a plate. 

Dust with icing sugar and cut into pieces.

Wrap it in silver foil  or carry it out for your drive in a closed box. 

Eat it with the coffee and enjoy  the  great view!
