hello

i want to make a chocolate cake for DD's birthday celebration on saturday. my usual cake recipe (and everyone else's i imagine) is 100g marg, 100g sugar, 100g flour, 2 eggs, i want to add cocoa powder to make it into a chocolate cake, but how much?!?!?

please advise me!

If you just want to convert a normal sponge to a chocolate one, then when you have weighed out the flour, take out 2 spoons full and replsce with 2 spoons of cocoa powder. Then carry on as normal

that sounds easy - teaspoons do you mean?

thanks.

I usually just add 1 tablespoon of cocoa to the flour as I sieve it. Occasionally needs a small splash of milk to the mixture at the end if it's a bit dry.

Sorry - tablespoons
