The YUMMY cake that was.

YUMMY CHOCOLATE CAKE

1.5 cups of flour
3 cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp cocoa powder
2tsp vanilla essence
2 whole eggs
2 cups milk
2 tsp baking powder
150 gm butter

Pre-heat oven. (~180degrees)

Mix up all these fellows in a nice big bowl. For this you will need a spatula and stamina for continuous, vigorous mixing. Ideally, try to get rid of all the lumps, even though it may seem impossible. Whisper to yourself, "You can do it." If no one's looking, give yourself an encouraging fist bump and carry on mixing.

Once mixed, transfer into a greased and floured container for baking purposes. Then bake for around 45 minutes at 180 degrees. The timing may not be accurate- so just stick a knife into your cake every five minutes or so once you cross half an hour and turn off your oven when it comes out clean.

Do not be over-excited. Do not forget oven mitts or a thick towel. Do not start touching or kissing your beautiful cake yet because it will be hot.

But woohoo! It's now ready. Upturn and keep it ready on a flat plate for icing.

YUMMY CHOCOLATE ICING

500 gm dark chocolate
400 ml fresh cream
Pinch of salt

Make while your cake bakes.

Melt the dark chocolate. It looks beautiful, believe me. Simultaneously heat up the cream in another pan. Add the melted chocolate to the warm cream and mix it up with a pinch of salt. This looks even more beautiful. Watching the white cream turn to dark brown will make your mouth water. Try not to drool into your mixture.

Try not to eat it up before your cake finishes cooking. To satiate your watering mouth, you can lick up the residual chocolate from the melting bowl.

Woohoo! It's ready.

 

YUMMY CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH ICING

1 Yummy chocolate cake

1 Bowl of Yummy chocolate icing

1 ladle 

1 flat spatula to spread

Dollop the icing GENEROUSLY over your cake and cover it completely. Spread it and make it look pretty.

Serve with extra icing to use as chocolate dip. This is MUCH tastier than chocolate sauce. 

TaadaaA! 

 

Remember, it's CHOCOLATE, so it will ALWAYS be yum (even if you mess up the recipe). Happy baking!

PS- this recipe was the result of messily following two separate recipes.
