The word chocolate sends across many arousing signals to any humans minds.. Not only kids but even adults just love chocolate so much that some just can't resist the cravings.
Well I didn't need a much better occasion than my brother in law and co-sister's 1st wedding anniversary to bake a special home made chocolate cake for them, even though this was the 1st time i was trying one the thought that it had to be special for them made me more excited to bake it..
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 25-30 minutes
Serves: About 320gms of yummylicious cake.
Ingredients:
1. Maida 2 cups
2. Castor sugar 2 cups
3. Butter 2 cups (soft)
4. Eggs 4
5. Cocoa powder 3-4tbsp
6. Baking powder 1.5tsp
7. Vanilla essence 1tsp
8. Milk as required
For icing:
1. Butter 1 cup
2. Icing sugar 2 cups
3. Milk 2-3tbsp
4. Vanilla essence 1-2 drops
Method:
1. Sieve maida, baking powder, cocoa powder 3 times
2. Cream the butter and sugar well. Keep aside. .
3. Beat the eggs well and add vanilla essence and blend.
4. Now add this to the sugar butter mixture and mix well.
5. Fold in the flour mix and mix well.
6. Add milk as much as required to get the mixture to a dropping consistency.
7. Grease a tray and pour till half full and bake @190degrees for about 25-30 minutes or till done. You can check this by poking a stick into the cake, if it comes out clean at all places it means the cake's done.
8. Cool on wire rack completely before you proceed for icing.
For icing:

Here I've used colourful gems and cherries for the decoration.
