Recipe of the day: No-bake chocolate cake

1. Combine caster sugar, evaporated milk, vanilla extract or essence, and butter in a saucepan.
2. Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the butter melts. Remove from heat and keep warm.

4. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda into a large mixing bowl.
