By á-9091

My mom bakes this cake for me all the time and it's my absolute favourite! Not a dry and difficult to swallow cake; it's moist and yummy.

Ingredients

• 125 g sugar
• 225 g margarine
• 4 eggs
• 250 g flour
• 10 ml baking powder
• 10 ml cacao
• SYRUP
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1.5 cup hot water

Preparation

Step 1

Bring the syrup ingredients to the boil and ensure sugar is completely dissolved. Boil for 5 minutes and let completely cool down.

Cake:
1. Melt margarine, sugar and cacao
2. Let completely cool down
3. Add eggs one by one, mix each egg in thoroughly
4. Sift in the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly
5. Bake in a ring pan for around 30 minutes at 180 C
6. Take cake out of the oven and pour the cooled down syrup over the cake immediately.

Let the cake cool down completely before taking it out of the pan.
Decorate with caramel, grated chocolate, nuts etc.

Tip: After taking the cake out of the oven, you can first use a sharp object to make some incisions in the cake before pouring the syrup over.
