Chocolate cakes and cheesecakes have always been my all-time favorites. When I’m bored, baking is my therapy. Now who doesn’t love cakes?

This Sunday I decided to bake a simple chocolate cake. Would love to share the recipe with you all. I have also shared a few pictures along with this post to make it easier for you. If you like it you can try it out too. So here we go.

First, the Ingredients

  1. All purpose Flour
  2. Hot Chocolate Powder ( I used Cadbury hot chocolate powder)
  3. Baking Powder
  4. Powdered Sugar
  5. A Glass of Milk
  6. Chocolate Syrup ( I used Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup as it is a bit thick. You can also make this by melting a pieces of dark chocolate).
  7. Butter for Greasing.

Secondly, Preparation

  • Sieve the flour making sure there are no lumps.
  • In a bowl make a mixture of the first four ingredients according to quantity (For Eg: For 1 cup all purpose Flour , Take 1/4 cup of chocolate powder , I/2 cup powdered sugar & a quarter table spoon of baking powder)
  • Pour some milk into the mixture (according to consistency ) and form a batter. Remove the lumps from the batter. The batter should be of medium consistency.
  • Take a cake pan and grease it with butter. You can also place a butter paper at the bottom to avoid sticking.
  • Pour the batter into the cake Pan. Pat the pan a little if there is air incorporated into the batter and then place it in the oven.
  • Set a timer and bake it for 40 Minutes. ( I have an oven which adjusts the heat automatically for baking cakes. Else you can preheat oven to 350 degrees F ( 175 degrees C).
  • Remove the cake pan from the oven after 40 minutes .
  • Insert a toothpick. If the toothpick inserted comes out clean your cake is well baked.
  • Allow it to cool.
  • Once cooled, transfer the cake to a plate.
  • Add a generous amount of chocolate syrup (thick) on top of the cake according to your taste and spread it evenly.
  • At last, cut the cake to desired shape and serve.

So the yummy chocolate cake is ready. Simple, easy & tasty.

That’s it for the cake recipe guys. Hope you enjoy it. Will try to share more simple recipes soon. Stay tuned! Until then Happy cooking ! Happy Baking !
