Answer 1

Here's my favourite recipe.

1. Get in the car.

2. Drive to local supermarket.

3. Choose from a selection.

4. Pay.

5. Go home and eat

There are many variations on this, some people might suggest going via a wine seller for example but the simple ones are usually the best.

Answer 2

This one is easy

6oz butter
6oz sugar
5oz flour
1oz cocoa
2 eggs

cream the butter and sugar together (mix together until the butter looks lighter in colour) add in the flour, cocoa and eggs and mix together well.

Poor into 2 sandwich tins and bake in the oven at 180c for about 18 mins (with no fan, if you oven is fan assisted cut the time by a couple of mins). Dont open the oven half way through cooking as that can make the cake drop. after 18 mins take the cake out of the oven and put a knife in the middle. If it comes out clean the cake is done, if not put in for a couple more mins.

Easiest home-made chocolate cake --- buy a couple of Tesco's own victoria sponge mixes (they're about 28p each), add 150ml water, 2 eggs, and three big spoons of drinking chocolate powder. Mix everything together. Split into 2 cake tins. Bake for 20 mins on 180.

Sandwich together with either double cream or chocolate fudge icing (which you can buy in a tub)

To make it really luxurious, buy a packet of easy-ice chocolate for the top. You melt it in the microwave for a minute, pour it over the top of the cake and it sets and tastes like real chocolate.
