Ingredients
240ml (1cup) butter/margarine at room temperature
240ml sugar (1cup) (Sucre roux)
2 tbsp vanilla essence
4 eggs
120ml (½ cup) milk powder
1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice
240 ml (1 cup) water approximately, may be more or less
720ml (3 cups) self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
½ tsp salt
200ml chopped chocolate or chocolate chip

Recipe
1. Preheat oven at 175°C
2. In a large mixing bowl cream butter and sugar thoroughly for about 5-10 minutes until the
mixture looks pale and creamy

4. Add the eggs one at a time and mix thoroughly in between eggs
5. Add the milk powder, vinegar and water until combined.
6. In a small bowl, add a tsp of the flour you've measured with the chopped chocolate or
chocolate chips. This will prevent the choco chunks/chips from sinking to the bottom of
the pan when it's cooking.
7. In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and the salt.
Add this mixture in the bowl of wet ingredients and combine with a spatula. DO NOT
OVERMIX!

a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
