From Scratch Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Moist and fluffy and delicious! I use about half the sugar as regular cakes so it's less sweet than normal. Add up to double the sugar if you like sweeter ones. You can also use your favorite store bought icing if you want.

Ingredient

Food ration :

8 servings

Cooking time :

120 mins

1/3 cup

flour (85 g)

4 Tbsp

unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 tsp

baking powder

1/4 tsp

baking soda

1 pinch

salt

1/3 cup

sugar (add up to 1/2 cup for sweeter cake)

egg

4 Tbsp

butter (60 g)

10 drops

vanilla

1/2 cup

milk (120 ml)

100 g

cream cheese (3.5 oz)

3 Tbsp

butter (45 g)

8 Tbsp

powdered sugar (60 g)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Let the egg and butter sit out at room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 180C/350F.

* Step 2

Put butter in a large bowl and cream it with a fork or mixer until creamy, soft and a little fluffy.

* Step 3

Add the sugar to the butter (I used natural sugar so it looks brown here) a little at a time and mix well.

* Step 4

Add egg and vanilla. Continue to beat until well mixed.

* Step 5

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix the flour mixture and the milk into the butter and egg mixture. Beat until smooth.

* Step 6

Grease well a 8-inch (20.5-21 cm) pie dish or cake pan with oil or butter. Pour in the batter and spread out evenly.

* Step 7

Bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Check the center with a toothpick - if it comes out clean it's done! Let cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool completely before frosting, about 1 hour.

* Step 8

While the cake is cooking prepare the icing. Let the cream cheese and butter soften a little at room temperature. Put in a bowl and beat/cream until smooth.

* Step 9

Gradually mix in the powdered sugar.

* Step 10

When the icing becomes soft enough to spread, it's done! Store the fridge until the cake has cooled.

* Step 11

When the cake is completely cooled, you can spread on the icing! If the icing hardened a little in fridge, let it warm up a few minutes until you can spread it.
