Ingredients:
All raising
flour (Maida): 1 cup
Butter: 1 cup
Sugar: 3/4 cup
(You can put in 1 full cup in order to sweeten it more)
Eggs: 2
Vanila Essence:
1 tbsp.
Baking powder: 1
tbsp.
Cocoa Powder:
1/2 cup
Milk: 1/2 Cup
Cake Mould
Sieve
Procedure:
Take a mixing
bowl and whisk sugar and butter in it until it forms a white lathery texture
and keep it aside. Take another bowl and pass the Maida, Baking powder and
Cocoa powder through a sieve for atleast
2-3 times so that it mixes well and the air gets restored.
In the butter
and sugar mixture, break in 2 eggs (one at a time) and mix well but not too
much. Add in the vanila essence and mix. Now, in 4-5 parts start adding in the
flour, baking powder and cocoa mixture in it. Mix it slowly in a cut and fold
manner preventing the formation of air bubbles.
If you feel that
the batter needs some liquid (it has become hard), you can add in milk
accordingly.
After this, put
all the batter in the mold and tap it on the platform so that the air bubbles
burst.
You can either
bake the cake in a Gas Tandoor or a microwave.
For Microwave,
you can take a microwave friendly bowl or a silicon cake mold. The temperature
and power varies. For our office Microwave, I had set the power on 640 W for 8
minutes.
For Gas Tandoor,
you can use an aluminium cake mold or a gas friendly mold. But, before putting
the batter you need to grease the mold with butter or ghee or oil and then
dust it with Maida. It takes around 40-45 minutes on low flame to bake the
whole cake.
In between the
baking process you can always put in a knife in the middle of the cake and if
the knife comes out clear that means the cake is ready.
When the cake is
ready, you can let it cool down and decorate it with some icing or normal sugar
with a paper cut out.
Enjoy the
deliciousness!
