- In a large bowl add your flour and sugars and mix until combined.
- To the same bowl add your chocolate powder, oil, milk and egg to emulsify the chocolate powder.
- Whisk thoroughly until combined it might be a bit thick but it will loosen up with the next step!
- Once combined, add your boiling water and whisk, your cake mixture will be very liquidy but this is what gives it a fudgy texture.
- Add cake mixture to the pre-lined cake tin and bake for 20-25 minutes.
