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*

Caramel Cake

This time, I am deeply smitten with the vacation bug, and I still haven't recovered from it yet. A trip to The Capital was the main highlight of this year's vacation and we especially my kids thoroughly enjoyed it. It was their many firsts--first looong trip in the train (48 hrs), first trip to the North, first long trip with their grandparents and so on.....So you could imagine their excitement!! Meanwhile, many special days like the Mother's day and Father's Day have come and gone, but I was never in a mood to at least make an effort to bake something for those special days.....Anyways, let me hope this Caramel Cake would compensate for all those lazy bygone days..... Once again, when I have to make a come back, I normally depend on the Fondbites, Bake Along Recipes and this time too, didn't alter that routine!! No more blabbing, off to the recipe for the Caramel Cake (Fondbites, Bake Along # 18). Ingredients: For the Cake Unsalted butt...

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 ...
