2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder

I've followed this recipe since I was four years old and first baked a cake- I remember making it once with Mum whilst Dad was out with Tris (my younger brother) they were sooo pleased when they got back! So there you go, that is my recipe for chocolate cake, and for icing it, use 3/4 of a block of unsalted butter and as much icing sugar as you think it needs (so until it starts to get too sweet, then you could add cocoa powder though it's not a neccessity)
