Rich chocolate coffee cake with chocolate pudding on top.

This cake tastes exactly like the store bought plum cake without adding plum and rum :)

Once again I tried using my own recipe. and here is how I made this
Ingredients:

Maida -1 & 1/2 cup
Sugar powdered- 1 & 1/2 cup
Chocolate powder - 3/4 cup ( I have used the drinking chocolate for this)

Coffee powder - 4 tspn ( If it is an instant coffee powder u can add as such or if it is otherwise you have to powder it in a mixer and add)
baking powder- a pinch
Baking soda - a pinch


Egg -2 nos
Curd -1 cup (set curd or strain the normal one for sometime to remove the water)
Butter - 100 gms
Cheese grated -100 gm
Oil - 4 tspn + for smearing the  mould
Chocolate essence -1 tspn
Tuti fruiti /kismis and almond bits - 2tpns each (optional) .Mix it with the sieved powders

Method Sieve together Maida, and baking powder and baking soda (2 times), also sieve chocolate powder and coffee powder. After sieving do not disturb the powder.

In a thick vessel mix thoroughly powdered sugar and buter, beat and make fluffy. Add grated cheese too and beat well.  Break the egg and seperate the egg white in another small vessel and add the egg yolk to the beaten mixture of sugar and butter. Beat again very well till foamy. Not add the curd and beat again. Add the egg white towards the end and beat. Add chocolate essence. now fold in the sieved powder ingredients . do not beat.just fold in. Finally add 4tbsp of oil to give a glossy look. If the batter is too thick u can add 1/2 cup of milk too.

Preheat oven at 200 deg and pour the batter on to a mould smeared with oil. Bake for 40 minutes or till the skewer cums clean.

Decorate with chocolate pudding as done in the picture.
