I had to move this as it's the only place i have this recipe now 
I love this cake, it's addictive!!
175g (7oz) self raising flour
200g (8oz) caster sugar
1 x 2.5ml(1/2 tsp) salt (Optional,I never use salt in my cooking)
25g (1oz) cocoa
100g (4oz) marg
2 medium eggs beaten with
5 Tbs(75ml) evaporated milk
5 Tbs(75ml) water
few drops vanilla extract.
Sieve flour,sugar,salt and cocoa
Rub in margarine
Stir in eggs, extract and liquids. Beat well
Grease and flour 2x 20.5 (8") cake tins, not loose bottomed as the mixture would run out. Divide mixture between them.
Bake at 180c, gas mark 4 for about 30-35 mins.
Cover with icing when cool.
Although the recipe says to bake in 2 tins i usually do it in one 8" square one.
