Ultra Moist Chocolate Cake

I had been searching for a chocolate cake recipe for the past few days and found many but none to my requirements!!! Yesterday, by chance I found this extremely easy chocolate cake recipe on Maria’s Menu. Didn’t give any further thoughts…with my apron on, gathered all the required ingredients and bakewares from here and there and I was all set for baking this Ultra Moist Chocolate Cake.


The month of March is a month of birthdays in my family. In fact, each week we have some or  the other celebrating their birthdays. So this post is dedicated to my two uncles, to my cousin and to my little niece who are celebrating their birthday in the first week of this month...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!


Ingredients:
Recipe Source: Marias Menu
Milk - 1 1/2 cups
Butter - 100 gms
Oil - 1/4 cup
Coco powder - 1/2 cup
Self raising flour - 1 cup
Egg - 1 beaten at room temperature
Baking soda - 1/2 tsp
Sugar - 250 gms

Method:
  • Preheat oven to 180 C.
  • Heat together milk, butter, oil and coco powder till the butter melts. Keep aside and allow it cool to room temperature.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, sugar and the beaten egg to the cooled wet ingredients.
  • Beat the above mixture using a hand mixer, till it is mixed well.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased cake tin and bake for 15-20 mins. In a microwave, bake at 600 W for 10-15mins.

Since, this is an ultra moist cake, be careful while unmoulding it from the cake pan. I served this cake as a dessert along with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream and believe me, it was irresistable!!! So, keep aside all the diet plans and indulge!!! *winks*

Pansache Dhonas/ Jackfruit Cake

It's the season of jackfruit and you get to see lots of them in Kerala now. Last week, when I went home for a day, I brought back some jackfruits as my son loves them...... After everybody had their share, I had little left in the fridge and so decided to bake this Goan cake - Pansache Dhonas, which I had penned down from Raksha's Kitchen some months back. I would say this cake is definitely a healthy one as it uses no maida, sugar or butter.... The cake tasted quite different from the normal ones and it was indeed yummy! Ingredients: Recipe Source: Raksha's Kitchen Jackfruit pulp - 2 cups Grated coconut - 1 cup Salt - 1/2 tsp Rava - 1 cup Jaggery - 1 cup Cardamom powder - 2 tsps Cashewnuts, chopped - 10 Almonds, chopped - 5-10 Raisins - 10 Method: Roast rava till it is light brown or till the aroma wafts into the air. Keep aside. Let it cool for at least 20 mins. Remove the jackfruit seeds and put them into a mixer ...

Happy Birthday Princess!!

Yes, the time flew again and she celebrated her 4th birthday with a White Chocolate Cake..... Unlike, the previous years , this year I asked her what cake she wanted for her birthday. And she surprised me saying she needed a white cake, the one which we buy from bakery....Well, I knew what she wanted was a White Forrest cake..... Since, we never preferred a White Forrest Cake, I decided to stick with her choice of a white cake.... And like any other time, Rachel Allen's Cake gave me the exact cake I was looking for.....And so here it is White Chocolate Cake with White Chocolate Ganache.....
