Chocolate cake

Got this recipe from a dear friend of mine :) I call it Anne's Dark Chocolate cake :)


Anne's Dark chocolate Cake :

• 150 gms baking sugar (if u r not icing the cake, add 75 gm sugar or alternate with sweetened chocolate instead)
• 125 cooking butter softened or sunflower oil (I don't like butter so I use oil-125 ml)
• 2-3 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk or curds
• 250 ml water
• 90 gms unsweetened chocolate melted or 50 gms coco powder
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla essence
• dried & finely chopped orange peel - 2 tsp
• 225 gms baking-maida
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder & cooking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 spoon Nescafe coffee powder (instant)

Sieve the flour, sugar, baking powder & soda together atleast twice so that there r no knots in the flour mix. Beat the white of the eggs 1st till frothy, then add the butter. Next add the egg yolk & mix well. Add the other ingredients in any order. Mix in the orange peel last.

In conventional oven, set microwave mode & bake in a 5 min pre-heated oven, for 7 minutes.

Cream:

In a double wall vessel, heat the following on low flame.

Tip - all ingredients should be at room temperature.

125 ml water
30 gms dark sugar
175 cooking butter
300 gms dark sweetened chocolate (melt)
