My First Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

Refined Flour/ Maida – 1 Cup
Baking powder – 1 1/2 tsp
Baking Soda - a pinch
Eggs – 2
Powdered Sugar – 3/4 Cup
Salt - a pinch
Oil – 1/2 Cup
Vanilla Essence- 1 tsp
Milk - 1/4 cup
Coco Powder – 2 tbsp
Walnuts – ½ cup chopped


Method

Sieve the flour, baking powder, baking soda and coco powder two to three times and keep it aside.

In another bowl, add eggs, sugar and salt. Beat well. Add oil and whisk it for a few secs. Mix in vanilla essence and milk and mix the mixture using a wooden spoon or a whisk, till well blended. Add the flour little by little and mix it all the while. Add walnuts and mix the mixture well.
Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake it in a pre-heated oven at 180 degree C for 40-45 mins or till done (A skewer inserted in it should come out clean). Remove from the oven and leave to cool.


My Notes

ü  The batter should be only up to 2/3^rd of the baking tin or the cake becomes dense.

ü  Use powdered sugar so that it gets blended soon.
