Its the heavenly aroma of Chocolate.

One of my dreams came true last friday....

I made a chocolate cake, a real chocolate cake that everyone at home are stealing and eating from the refrigerator and i am really smiling while typing this.

So i have achieved something at least half of my dream.. ...

So the recipe for this delicious chocolate cake for you


Ingredients:
2 cups of maida. (small paper cup)
¼ cup of wheat flour
¾ cup of cocoa powder
1 tsp of baking powder
2 pinches of baking soda (soda bi-carbonate)
1 ¾  cup of powdered sugar
½ cup of warm milk
100 gms of butter
2 large eggs
¼ cup of vegetable oil

Preparation:
1.       Sieve the flours, baking powder , baking soda and cocoa powder and keep aside.(this loosens the flours)
2.       In a big bowl, Mix the butter in warm milk and let it melt, then beat it well and add the eggs, beat it till it froths.
3.       Add the sugar powder to the batter and beat them, add the flours slowly and beat till smooth and of dropping consistency, add some more oil and milk, if needed and beat it. The flour should pour in folds while pouring.
4.       Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees.
5.       Pour the batter in a well creased cake tin about ½ foot wide in sides or  in eight small paper cups. The batter should be only till half of the dish you use.
6.       Now, bake for at least 40 minutes when using the single dish to bake, if using the paper cups it will be done around 25 to 30 minutes.
7.       Test if the cake is done by inserting fork or knife in the cake, if it come out clean, then the cake is done. By this time your kitchen will be filled with a delicious and heavenly smell of chocolate. Eat it hot and eat it cold as you like… You will love this….
Trying to learn to make the icing …now, that’s a task.
