Flour- 2 cups
Egg-2
Cocoa Powder- 1/2 cup
Butter-100gms
Curd-1/2 cup
Baking Soda- 3/4 tsp
Sugar- 2 cups
Warm Water- 1/2 cup
Vanilla Essence- 1 1/2 tsp
Note: Warm water should be just above the boiling point. No need to powder the sugar. No need to mix the Baking soda into the Flour.
Method:
The steps are quite simple, just follow the order of putting the things into the bowl which is very important.
Preheat the oven @ 150 deg C for 10 min. Meanwhile in that 10 mins time you can make the cake batter.
Grease two cake tins of 9" size with butter and dust it with cocoa powder.
To a big bowl add Eggs, over that add Butter, then sifted Cocoa powder, over that add sifted Flour, on top of that add Curd, then Baking Soda, then Sugar in such a way that it covers the entire ingredients like a small hill covered with sugar.. On top of it add hot water. Now mix thoroughly with a beater for around 3-4 mins. Transfer it to the greased tins and bake @ 150 Deg C for 20-25 mins or till the cake is done.
When the cake is cooled, top it with Chocolate ganache and silver balls.
Remember, whenever you make cake, when the top of the cake seems to be done and you feel that the inside is still to cook more, then reduce the temperature from from 150 to 130 so that the inside gets cooked.
You can enjoy a fluffy, yummy Chocolate Cake.
