Ingredients

Serves :
  • Olive oil, to grease


  • 2 eggs


  • 215g (1 cup) caster sugar


  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence


  • 150g (1 cup) self-raising flour


  • 50g (1/3 cup) plain flour


  • 50g (1/2 cup) Home Brand Cocoa Powder


  • 160ml (2/3 cup) olive oil


  • 60ml (1/4 cup) low-fat milk


  • Cocoa powder, extra, to dust

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 180°C. Brush a square 19cm (base measurement) cake pan with oil to grease. Line the base and sides with non-stick baking paper.
  • Use an electric beater to beat the eggs and sugar in a small bowl until pale and creamy. Beat in the vanilla. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Sift in the combined flours and cocoa powder. Fold until the mixture is almost combined. Add the olive oil and milk, and fold until combined.
  • Spoon the cake mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until crumbs cling to a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with cocoa powder to serve.
