Mike's super moorish chocolate cake 

Cook time: 30-40 minutes 

Prep time: 5 minutes 

Serves: large cake 

100ml vegetable oil  

250ml cream  

1 cup boiling water  

1 tsp vanilla paste 

2 eggs  

1 1/2 cups caster sugar  

Pinch salt  

2 tsp baking soda  

1/2 cup cocoa powder  

1 3/4 cups plain flour

In a large mixing bowl, with a whisk, combine ingredients one at a time starting from the top and working your way down.  

Mix well until all combined (will be quite runny) Pour into a greased and lined 20cm x 30cm tin or cake mould. 

Cook in a pre-heated 170*C oven, for anywhere between 35-45 minutes. 

Check regularly, and skewer test. When it comes out clean, it's good to go.  

Coat it in chocolate ganache or like a Italian meringue and use a blow torch to burn the outside.
