Recipe by Donna Hay.

Occasionally I want cake, so I make my own. I share these around.

I used a dark chocolate block on special, however, you could use dark chocolate chips if you prefer.

2 cups S/R flour
1 cup raw sugar (I used 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
1/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted
1 cup milk
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
200gr dark chocolate, chopped/broken into small pieces

Place the flour, sugar, coconut and cocoa in a large bowl. Using a whisk, mix to combine.
Add the milk, oil, eggs, vanilla and chocolate. Use a wooden spoon to mix, until just combined.
Spoon into muffin tin. It makes 12.

Oven 180 degrees fan forced or 200 degrees conventional.
Bake for 20 minutes. Test with a skewer if cooked.
Leave in muffin tin for 5 minutes until placing on a wire rack to cool.

They are nice and great to share. I've got her baking book, didn't get it from the internet, however I just saw there's a link which is handy.

You are 'led to believe' that you are paying half-price whereas in fact the product has been 'marked up' to mark down. The advertised price is the 'REAL' price..... I was in retail for over 40 years so I know the tricks of the trade.....

Okay but when you go to buy the block of chocolate the week after it's on sale then it's double the price

I give up......

If you got a price that was 1/2 price of the marked down price, then you would be getting a 'deal'.......

I'm bumping this recipe up.
Three of my daughters have now made these including a non cook and that ones hubby was very surprised

The three of them said they were so easy and just like you would buy in a Cafe.

Hopefully more genuine home cooks will post their incredible recipes.
