Chocolate cake





This is really easy to make and is absolutely heavenly!!! This cake is a result of a great deal of trial and error ( my family gets scared these days when I don the chefs hat). I can only list the ingredients and give you a fair idea with regards to the quantity of each...

Ingredients:-

For the cake:
Maida about 1 cup
Baking Powder, 1 tbsp
Cocoa powder about two table spoons
2 eggs
Butter, two huge dollops
about 100 gms of powdered sugar
few drops of vanilla essence
sugar dissolved in water

For the icing:
1 small packet Amul cream
Milk chocolate (melted)
Two tbsps powdered sugar

Method:

1) Pass the maida, cocoa powder and baking powder through a seive. Mix well and keep aside.

2) Beat the butter and powdered sugar.

3) Add the eggs one by one and mix well. Ensure that you fold the mixture in one direction only.

4) Add vanilla essence.

5) Gently fold the maida into the butter-egg mixture. Mix gently and ensure that there are no lumps.

6) Grease a bowl and pour the batter.

7) Place the bowl in a microwave oven at medium for about 5 minutes.

8) Beat the cream till it is thick and mix in the sugar and chocolate.

9) Cut the cake into two layers.

10) Soak each layer in sugar water.

11) Place a layer of cake and cover it well with chocolate cream, place the other layer on top and pour the remaining chocolate cream on it.

12) I have garnished this cake with grated dark chocoalate.
