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!

Yo! Did ya bake that?

Sorry shak, I've been really occupied with Varun being sick with fever and all. I do try to visit our blog but no time to write. Anyways, Is that something you baked? what is it? How did it taste? How long did you take to bake it? Recipe? Details babe?!? Wow,...2 more weeks to holidays ending. I tried baking a chocolate cake last weekned but it came out wrong. It sank in the middle (too much butter) and it burned on the outside without cooking much on the inside ( too much heat). I cant understand how I cud hav gone wrong when I followed Nigella's recipe for old fashioned chocolate cake. My chocohotopots came out perfect though. Sad. Gonna try again asap...

By the way, shakthi, if you come across any nice simple cake stands like this one, cud you lemme kno? I really want one! :) But they dun hav any in singapore.
