Rich Dark Chocolate cake

Thought I should start my blog by sharing one sweet dish with you all.. So its time for a simple regular chocolate cake which you can make very easily at home. I did put my own trick to this simple recipe. Follow the recipe step by step with the correct ingredients and the quantity.. So here we go!!!!




Super soft Rich Dark Chocolate cake with chocolate sauce





Ingredients:
200gms dark chocolate of good quality
200 gms butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
3 eggs
1 1/2 cup flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 milk
1/4 soda bicarbonate


Method:
Preheat the microwave oven at 160c. Grease one cake tin (of any shape -round/square/oval shapes) with butter/vegetable oil with the help of a silicon brush or you can always use tip of your fingers to grease the tin. Or in case if u use silicon mould, you do not need to grease.

 Melt the chocolate through double boiler process (what is double-boiler process: take one big saucepan on gas with water and bring to boil. Cut/grate the chocolates in a glass bowl and keep that on the saucepan with hot water on the gas. Stir the chocolate continuously till it melts). Add the butter (room temperature) with the melted chocolate and beat them well with blender or mix with a spoon/spatula. In another bowl sieve flour, soda and cocoa powder . Add sugar with this dry mixture and mix them well.. Meanwhile beat the eggs in  a bowl and stir in 1/2 cup of milk. Now pour the chocolate n egg mixture into the flour mixture and beat them nicely until u get a smooth running consistency. Now the batter is ready to go into the oven. Pour the mixture into the greased tin and bake for 35-45 minutes in convection mode. Once it is baked let it cool. After getting cold, transfer the cake to a cake stand or u can use a dish also to place it.

Here is the twist I gave to my normal chocolate cake. After transferring the cake from the tin to a cake stand, slice it diagonally from between and keep aside the upper sliced portion of the cake. Now spread chocolate sauce evenly on the base of the lower portion of the sliced cake which is there on the cake stand or u can spread evenly whipped cream also. Now cover it with the upper layer  which we had kept aside and gently press a little with your hands. Now keep the cake in refrigerator to set for half an hour or 45 mins. Once it is set , cut into wedges and serve with hot chocolate sauce pouring on it. Also sprinkle some tutti frutti on the pieces as well while serving to add some colour to it. Happy baking !!!:)
