Rich dark chocolate cake

Chocolate is the favourite of all irrespective of any age they are in. there are lot many favourites of cooking available with chocolate and cakes and cookies are the top among them. 

I have tried this choco cake with the drinking chocolate powder and it was so awesome in taste that it was melting in the mouth. We all enjoyed the richness of the flavour and taste of this cake.

Here is the recipe I used for making.

Maida/all purpose flour - 2 cup

Baking powder -1/4 tspn

Baking soda- 1/4 tspn

Salt -a pinch

Sieve all these dry ingredients 2-3 times and keep it aside undisturbed. Add 3/4 cup chocolate powder. 

If chocolate powder is not there you can use chocolate bars or cooking chocolate as per your sweet tooth. If using bar chocolate, melt the chocolate in boiling milk and allow it to cool and bring to room temperature before making the cake. Please note to adjust the amount of milk in the recipe if using chocolate bar.

Sugar -2 cups powdered

Eggs -3 nos

Curd (thick) -1 cup

Milk - 1/2 to 3/4 cup

Butter -150 gm

Chocolate essence -1/2 tspn

Beat butter and powdered sugar till nicely blend. Beat again till slightly fluffy. Separate the egg whites and yellow and add yellows to this mixture and again blend.Beat till the mixture is fluffy and soft.Add curd to this.beat again, followed by milk. Finally add egg whites and beat. When butter seperates from curd on top add chocolate essence. Mix well. 

Now slowly fold in the dry ingredients. If you wish to add chopped nuts or tuti-fruti bits or raisins or any other fruit bits of your choice to this mixture, mix it with the dry ingredients and then fold in for uniform distribution. Mix well till no lumbs are formed. Note: do not beat but just fold in. 

Preheat the oven at 200 deg centigrade.  

Grease the baking tray with oil and dust with flour uniformly.  Pour in the batter ,spread it uniform in the tray and bake for 40 minutes or till the skewer comes out clean.. Cool and remove from tray once it is done.Enjoy.
