Notes
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- To make your own self-raising (self-rising) flour for this recipe, sift together 50g of plain flour with ⅔ of a teaspoon of baking powder.
- Dutch-processed cocoa powder tastes smoother and richer than regular cocoa powder. I find that in baked goods it tastes more like actual chocolate rather than just cocoa powder.
