Rich Dark Chocolate Cake

by Shaheen Ali

I simply love baking… believe me it’s a addiction. Once you start baking and get your hands set on your oven, that is when you get addicted. For me baking is something which was once a nightmare. But gradually i took over my fear and Woohaa! here i am. I gguess in my blog after desserts, baking is the maximum post carrying category.


If someday it really happens, i would love to die eating chocolate. Chocolate in any form is worth dying for. Like me, my son is also a big time chocolate fan. Every second day he asks me to bake something out of chocolate. So today again, just for him, i made a simple yet rich, dark chocolate cake. Nothing fancy about this cake, the chocolate and the texture speaks for itself.

Was desperate to use dark chocolate compound but after wasting an hour or so in my pantry in search of chocolate compound, finally  i had to settle down with choco chips. This substitute hardly made a difference to the texture. Hence i would say it saved my cake too. The chips melted inside and gave that gooey dark texture to the cake which i was looking for. Alas! its a happy me again 🙂 Cheers!

Instructions
  1. Sieve flour, baking powder and cocoa powder together in a large bowl and keep aside.
  2. In a medium size bowl take melted butter (if its hard you can microwave it for 30sec before use) and sugar and beat well till creamy and fluffy.
  3. Now add eggs one by one and keep beating the mixture with a blender till it becomes creamy and light.
  4. Add vanilla essence and whisk again.
  5. Now start adding the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients slowly and with the help of a spatula fold them all to make a batter. Add choco chips and mix all together once again.
  6. Heat oven at 180 degree C. Grease a 6" baking tin and pour the batter in to it. Tap the tin gently so that the batter settles well.
  7. Bake the cake in the pre heated oven for 35-40mins or till the tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Transfer the cake tin on a wire rack and allow the cake to cool at room temperature.
  9. Once the cake is cool, demould it, dust some castor sugar on top and cut into pieces. You can store the cake pieces in a air tight jar too.
Recipe Notes

P.S- You can enjoy the cake with molten chocolate and assorted fruits too.
