I don't really know where this recipe originated but its the one that my mum made while I was growing up and I absolutely love it. As she would say "You would eat 4 pieces of this if you were allowed..."

- 1 cup baking cocoa
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups suger
- 1 tsp vanilla essence

- 1 tsp baking powder
Method
- Preheat the oven to 160°. Line the base of a 27cm x 18cm x 3cm tin with baking paper
