Chocolate Cake



This recipe is dedicated to all the chocoholics around. Well, baked this yesterday for a lunch party at Meenu's. Meenu added her own special touch and we (Prati, Gowri, Meenu and I) had chocolate cake topped with vanilla ice cream topped with Hershey's chocolate sauce topped with choco chips. Yummilicious. Here goes:

Ingredients:

Maida - 2 cups
Cocoa Powder - 3 tbsp
Sugar - 1 cup
Eggs - 3
Baking powder - 1 tsp
Baking soda - 1 tsp
Melted chocolate - 1 bar
Butter - 100 gm
Oil - 50 ml
Water - 150 ml
Chopped Walnuts if you like the nutty crunch
Orange essence since I did not have vanilla essence

-Mix all ingredient in a mixer till it forms a ribbon like consistency
-Grease a baking bowl with oil/butter and sprinkle some flour
-Pour the cake mix to the baking bowl
-Set the oven temperature to around 180 degree Celsius and bake for around 35 minutes
