CHOCOLATE CAKE

Ingredients

S.No	Ingredient	Quantity
1.	Maida	1¾  cup
2.	Castor Sugar	¾ cup
3.	Baking Powder	2 teaspoon
4.	Yellow Butter	2 ½  tablespoon
5.	Vinegar	½ tablespoon
6.	Vanilla Essence	½ teaspoon
7.	Milk	1 cup
8.	Salt	A pinch
9.	Cocoa	1 tablespoon
10.	Chocolate Powder	1 tablespoon
11.	Coffee	A pinch
12.	Egg white(optional)	1
13.	Brandy	1-2 teaspoon

Method:

1. Sift together Maida and butter with your hands until it turns into a nice and creamy mixture.
2.  Now add baking powder, salt, sugar, cocoa powder, chocolate powder and cocoa to it. Give it a good mix.
3. Take a separate bowl. Whisk egg white so that it turns into a nice foamy texture and add milk into it. Then add vinegar, vanilla essence and brandy which will neutralize the smell of egg and will give it a scintillating flavor.
4.  Pour this into the Maida bowl and stir it continuously until all the lumps are removed. Remember not to overdo the stirring part, otherwise your cake will become very dry.
5. You can even add raisins, almonds, walnuts etc… as per your taste.
6. Blend it properly till it becomes a nice and homogeneous batter. The consistency should not be very thick or very thin.
7. Grease your bowl with some butter and dust it with Maida.
8. Add the mixture to your bowl.
9. Pre-heat your oven or microwave at 180 degree Celsius. This will help your cake to rise. Then cook it for around 20-25 minutes in oven or another option is cook in the microwave for 5 minutes. To check whether it’s done or not, put a toothpick inside it. If nothing sticks on it, then your cake is ready!!!!
10. Serve it with chocolate sauce!! :)
