This is my Mum's never fail, easy, peasy 2 minute chocolate cake. No fancy beating anything seperate, just throw it all in - it's delicious!


1 3/4 cups SR flour
11/4 cups sugar
1 cup milk
1/2 teas vanilla
2 tabs cocoa
1/4 teas bicarb soda
125 g butter
2 eggs

Put all ingredients into bowl - beat for 2 minutes scraping down the sides regularly.

Put into greased pan and bake 45min in a 180 degree (preheated) oven.

Ice when cool.

Icing
2 tabs butter
2 tabs cocoa (less if you don't want as rich)
2 cups icing sugar
enough milk to make smooth but not runny consistency

Beat butter, cocoa and icing together. Slowly add milk till you are happy with smooth consistency.
