Hi. I’m Varsha. Amma talks about me in some of her posts so I guess most of you know who I am. I love to eat more than cooking. I enjoy baking cakes and muffins. I’m the one who usually brings the cake for any of my friend’s birthday and hence I’m titled the “BAKER”. Amma gave me an opportunity to write one of her posts. I chose this one as its my favorite cake recipes. The name of this cake speaks for itself. It is the perfect choice for chocolate lovers. Most of my friends go head over heels for chocolate (just like me :p), so I usually bake chocolate cakes. I’ve baked this cake a couple of times. Since many of my friends love chocolate I’ve baked this cake for my friend’s birthday, my teacher’s birthday as well as for an earth day fair. This cake has always turned out soft (for me) and remains soft even when kept in the fridge overnight. When my teacher had tried it for the first time she was very surprised to hear that an eggless cake had turned out to be very soft. All of my friends love this cake. Some have even asked me for the recipe . So here is the recipe for a mouth watering double chocolate cake.
All purpose flour 1 and 1/2 cup Cocoa powder 2 tblsp Baking powder 1 tsp Baking Soda 1/2 tsp Sugar 1 cup Oil 1/4 cup Vanilla essence 1 tsp Water 1 cup Chocolate chips 1/2 cup Video on how to make Double chocolate cake
In bowl, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and cocoa powder. Sift this well for even mixing.
Grease a baking pan and dust the pan with little flour. This will help you to take out the cake easily from the pan. Pour the batter to the pan.
Add the chocolate chips on the top, gently fold the mixture and preheat the oven for 5 minutes at 160 degrees. Bake for 30- 35 minutes . Insert a tooth pick in the center and if it comes out clean, the cake is done. Baking time varies from oven to oven. Mine got done in 30 minutes.
Allow this to completely cool. Once done, cut them and enjoy. As i said in the beginning, it stays soft even the next day too.
