AANIEBRAND SJOKOLADE LAAGKOEK
Ek het die een sopas hernoem, want my pan was te klein en toe borrel dit oor die kant.
Ek was nie van plan om die oond oop te maak en die koek te laat platval nie.
Toe ek uiteindelik besluit dis nou genoeg baktyd en die koek uithaal, toe le daar twee sulke gloeiende stukkies koek-kole en flikker onder in die oond, net reg vir ‘n vuurmaak.
Maar sjoe dis ‘n lekker resep. Klink ingewikkeld maar is vreeslik maklik.

Koek:
1.5 koppies suiker (330 g)
1 koppie en een eetlepel koekmeel gesif (250ml en 15ml) (155g)
¾ koppie kakao gesif (90g)
2 ½ teelepels (12.5 ml) bakpoeier
1 ½ teelepels koeksoda (7.5 ml)
1ml sout
