Instant Chocolate Cake
Description
Perfect for tea and coffee. Here is a very simple and quick version of chocolate cake batter. In this case, I suggest filling the layers with a cream made from whipped cream, dried fruits, and nuts. Of course, you can always use any other ingredients you prefer. This recipe is great because you can serve the cake just an hour after preparing it. The cake layers are so tender they don't need long soaking. This cake will make an excellent dessert for the whole family.
