When you\\\'re pressed for time & need a go-to dessert - this is it! So simple to make, you can\\\'t mess it up! I love it because it can be eaten all day - breakfast, lunch & dessert! The only problem...never lasts long!

Ingredients
Serves 6-8

6 tablespoons sweet butter, melted (plus extra for greasing)
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour(plus extra for dusting)
2 teaspoons baking powder
scant 1/2 cup superfine sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
confectioner\\\'s sugar, for sprinkling
salt

Method
Preheat oven 350 degrees F.

Grease a ring mold with butter and lightly dust with flour.

Sift together the four, baking powder, sugar and a pinch of salt into a bowl.

Add the eggs, melted butter and milk and mix until smooth and even.

Pour one-third of the mixture into another bowl and stir in the cocoa powder.

Pour the plain mixture into the prepared mold, then pour the cocoa mixture on top.

Bake 35-40 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let stand for 15 minutes, then turn out.

Sprinkle with confectioner\\\'s sugar and serve.

fedora is right, this recipe is a disaster, too much flour, it actually is from the Silver Spoon cookbook and the recipes for ring cake above and below this one in the cookbook call for much less flour, i made the same mistake ...
