This cake was introduced to me by a classmate of mine, back in the day. She hated me, I hated her, but together, we shared the love for baked goods.
So as a farewell present to me, in class 10, she handed me the recipe.
This cake went on to become the reason Aarushi and Rudraksh would come over. This was also Shibangi's 17th birthday cake, and her dad's birthday cake too. This is what I used to cheer my friends up, and everytime Suhina was sad, she'd ask for this.
It's delicious to say the least, and surprisingly easy.
I bake several versions of this cake, but those versions I will keep for later. This is a cake I'm proud to say that I have perfected. It's brilliant and no fail. No amount of screwing up will screw this cake up. It's like the boyfriend you never had but always wanted. The kind of boyfriend who forgives you even if you fuck up and treats you well, you know? It's really sad that I have to equate food to people, but that's what it's come to so what to do.
The recipe [ makes 2 8 inch cakes] [ half the recipe, if needed, that's what i usually do]
2 cups maida
2 cups sugar
1 cup cocoa
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp coffee powder
a pinch of salt
1 cup milk
1 cup water
3/4 cup oil
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 eggs
The process is simple and routine. Dry ingredients in one bowl. Wet in another. Mix both. And voilaaa, there you have it. Yum cake batter.
Grease and flour the tin, add batter to tin.
Bake at 150 for 30 mins.
And whooop.
I had cream cheese frosting left over from yesterday, so I was very generous with it today and smeared it all over this beautiful cake. And because I have a bottle of sprinkles, I was generous with that too :D I still can't get over how good it tastes. PAT ON YOUR BACK DISHARI!
