Would this recipe work? And how much is a cup? - August 1st 2011, 02:19 PM

Ingredients:
- 1 round mold of 23 cm
- 3 cups of flour
- 2 cups of sugar
- 2 cups of milk
- 1 cup of oil
- 1 heaped tablespoon of cacao
- 2 tea spoon of baking powder
- a pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla syrup
Method:
- Mix the flour, sugar, cacao, baking powder and salt
- Add the milk, oil and the vanilla syrup
- Beat with the mixer for 3 minutes
- And then pour in the mold
- Cook for 40 minutes at 180 degres C



Okay, so I need a non-egg chocolate fondant, and have come across this recipe. It seems okay except for three things:

1 - Why so much oil? Seems a bit icky to me.

2 - Would it rise/work properly?

3 - How much (in mls and grams/oz) is a cup? The recipe was French if that makes a difference.


If you don't think this would work, can you please find me an alternative (preferably with ingredients I already have in the house. As in, not gello or tofu or anything :/)

Thank you <3
