The great thing about Facebook are the birthday reminders. Not so great? They tell you on the day itself. Right about then I realize that I have to bake a cake in double quick time. Other times, it’s a gift or a request by someone in the family… and this happens all the time. What I’m sharing today is my Go To cake recipe.
I’m in love with the simplicity of this effort. The recipe demands pantry staples and with a quick whisk of ingredients you have a charming little cake in the oven, one I assure you tastes delicious. Another reason I go back to this recipe all the time is because I am yet to meet someone who will refuse a home-made chocolate cake. And this one is no-fuss, you don’t really need a fancy frosting. A drizzle of chocolate sauce or powdered sugar does makes for instant appeal.
- 1 cup butter
- ½ cup sugar
