Dark Chocolate Cake

This recipe is amazing. I am sure a lot of folks at work will vouch for this. I have added dark chocolate and walnuts to the original recipe and also changed the baking time as I prefer the traditional slow way of baking but the taste remains divine.

Ingredients:

2 eggs (on the smaller side)
100 gms unsalted butter
100 grams maida
100 grams sugar
1 Dark Chocolate bar melted
1/2 tspn baking powder
30 gms cocoa powder (can vary, depending on preferences)
Handful of walnuts
Few drops of vanilla essence
Milk


-Beat eggs till light and fluffy
-Add sugar and vanilla essence and continue beating
-Add butter and beat some more (Microwave it till it melts)
-Add dark chocolate (Microwave this too till it melts)
-Sieve maida, cocoa powder and baking powder and gradually add to the mixture
-Add a few tablespoons of milk and mix till it reaches the desired consistency
-Crush and add the walnuts
-Bake at 180 degree in a greased bowl for 35 mins in the microwave
-Once it cools, cut into pieces, pack in a tiffin box and bring to office the next day :)
