My Long Awaited Chocolate Cake!






Wow! What a wonderful day it has been. My mom and Varun was in such a good mood, I decided to use the opportunity to bake a cake...the long awaited chocolate cake. This recipe went fine until the icing. My icing turned out heavy n sugary altho its supposed to be light n fluffy. Gotta work on my icing. Anyway, here's the recipe:

Ingredients:
125g caster sugar
4 eggs
100g self raising flour
25g cocoa powder(sifted)
40g unsalted softened butter
1 tsp vanilla essence

1. Put sugar and eggs in heatproof bowlset over gently simmering water. Whisk with electric whisk for 5-10 min until very thick consistency.
2. Sift over the flour n cocoa powder n carefully fold into mixture with melted butter n vanilla essence until well combined.
3. Pour mixture into 8inch cake tin (oiled) n bake in preheated oven at 180C for 45 min. Turn out on rack and leave to cool.

For orange chocolate cake, simply add finely grated rind of orange to sugar n eggs whisking and continue as above.

I had a lotta fun and definitely destressed through the process. Let me know how urs turns out if you're gonna bake it too!
