RICH DARK CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE
Ingredients:
Plain flour or maida - 300 gms
Powdered sugar - 450 gms (Please measure after powdering)
Butter - 290 gms
Milk powder - 20 gms
Curd - 8 oz (250 ml)
Cocoa powder - 70 gms
Eggs - 5 big
Salt - 1 pinch (if using unsalted butter)
Baking soda - 1 tsp
Vanilla essence - 2 tsp
How to Make Chocolate Cake:
Sieve soda + maida + cocoa powder + milk powder + salt six times. This is to make sure that the ingredients have blended completely.
Beat the curd well to remove any lumps.
Beat sugar and butter, keep adding one egg at a ttime and keep mixing well. When this batter has blended well, add the vanilla essence.
Alternately add the curd, and the powder mixture to the butter and sugar mixture. Do not beat at this stage. Slowly blend the ingredients and keep mixing well.
Once the batter has blended well, grease a tray and bake in 350 degrees heat. It should take 35-40 minutes to be completely done. We use the conventional oven at home. Please check after 25 minutes if you use a different one.
Mix 30gm butter and 80gm castor sugar and spread over the cake.
Tip* - Sometimes we found that the deep colour is missing in our cakes than the ones sent by Omana Aunty. So we started experimenting to find out her secret ingredient that seemed to enhance the colour in her cakes. We zeroed in on one teaspoon coffee powder. So if you feel that your chocolate cake lacks colour, try this tip 🙂
Another tip is to mix the chocolate powder in boiling water before adding to the batter.

From one chocolate lover to another - here's a saying that I have on my fridge magnet - "If there's no chocolate in heaven, I'm not going there"

Nina - ah ok. Honestly I use a very old-fashioned oven which I brought from India (you can find pics of it in my butterscotch blondies recipe page) so I haven't looked around here for ovens. There are some MW ovens that do the trick too so could try places like Courts maybe?
