Description

A classic chocolate cake with fool-proof secrets to perfect cake moistness!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • ¾ cups cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 2 cups sugar
  • ½ cup oil
  • 1 cup boiling water or hot coffee
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line two 23cm round cake pans, or one 23x33cm rectangular baking pan, with wax paper. Grease the paper and the sides of the pan well.
  2. In a large bowl, sift the dry ingredients together.
  3. Add the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla essence and beat with an electric mixer for about two minutes. Add the boiling water or coffee and mix until combined.
  4. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 30-40 minutes.
  5. To test if the cake is ready, insert a toothpick into the middle of the pan. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready. A single rectangular cake will take slightly longer to bake than two round layers.
  6. Slide a knife around the edge of each cake to loosen it from the pan, turn the pan over onto a metal rack and peel off the paper.
  7. Let the cake cool completely before covering with icing.

The blonde enjoys the hard fucking. Join! He is in so much pain out in the woods. This slave gets a really hard beating from his cruel master. The master is in charge and says what goes. It’s so sad that the unlucky slave has to be tied up with rope and beaten, while clamps are attached to his sensitive nipples. These hot guys are horny and love to fuck. Watch them as one is fucking the other in his tight ass with his long hard dick, entering deeper and deeper in him without a condom. After a while they change position and continues fucking from behind until this guy with sexy ass gets on his knees and gives head, receiving a big load on his face for being so naughty This Japanese couple is making out hard with deep kissing when the girl moves towards her man’s dick. She sucks him off like a pro giving him the best blowjob of his life. He rubs her nipples while she deep throats him. I fucked her tight ass hole with a sex toy and when her anus got wide enough I slide my fingers deep inside her. The bitch loved that and she staid bent over until I finished with her. Now she’s ready for work and begins her day by sucking a patient’s cock like a good Nippon nurse It’s her hot bush that makes the guy’s cocks hard and she knows it! Look at her wrapping those juicy lips around the penises and sucking them real nice after she rubbed and fingered her vagina. Perhaps is she keeps up the good work they will cum on her red hair and, that on her head and between her legs
