Jules' Chocolate Cake

1 cup caster sugar
3 eggs

1 cup plain flour
2 heaped teaspoons baking powder
2 heaped tablespooons cocoa powder
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla essence

1/2 cup milk
1 rounded tablespoon butter (about the size of an egg)


Cream the sugar and eggs until pale.

Add the sieved dry ingredients and the vanilla essence and mix together.

Put the milk and butter into a saucepan and melt the butter (don't let the milk boil, once it starts to go bubbly around the edges, take it off the heat).

Pour it into the rest of the mixture and beat it until there are loads of air bubbles.

Pour it into two cake tins and bake at 200 degrees C (400 F) for about 15 - 20 minutes.
