Chocolate Cake

I got this recipe unexpectedly while watching videos in YouTube. I have to say its super easy and tastes heavenly. So here goes the recipe for moist chocolate cake along with ganache ( cake frosting)..

One more thing you have to be careful is lining the cake pan with parchment paper or baking paper (I think you can use aluminium foil too), so that the cake won't stick to the pan.

The recipe makes 2 cakes and some muffins..

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2 cup sugar
• 1 3/4 cup All purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup boiling water

Method

1. Preheat oven to 375F or 150C.
2. Whisk first 6 dry ingredients together.
3. Add milk, oil, eggs and vanilla extract to the dry mixture and whisk until the bater is smooth.
4. At the end add boiling water to the bater and mix it. The bater will be thin.
5. Pour into the cake pan and bake for 15-20 mnts until a toothpick inserted at the middle of the cake comes out clean.
6. Remove the cake pan from the oven and let it cool for sometime.
7. Invert it !

Ganache recipe goes here..

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup milk cream
• 1 bar dark chocolate

Method

1. Boil milk cream in a saucepan until it starts boiling.
2. Remove the cream from stove and add the chopped chocolate bar.
3. Stir the mixture after 2 minutes until it is consistent.
4. To make it thick add butter and keep it in the fridge for sometime.
5. Spread the ganache on the cooled cake in the middle and spread it.

Enjoy!
