Chocolate Cake - Arusuvai Chain

Bharathy roped me into the Arusuvai friendship chain...and told me I'd recieve an ingredient soon... and I recieve a white packet from Kamini... and tasting it I instantly knew it was "Baking Powder"...
Only I didn't want to bake as it would consume so much E energy. (and I had many an options but strangely nothing seemed nice enough)
And then again.... I haven't baked a thing in so many years... I didn't even remember the proportions of butter, flour and eggs!

So as you would assume, it did take me a couple of bad bakes to get to this one...
It doesn't look the best, but its the a really tasty and soft Chocolate cake.
Well if I'd follow my mother's recipes correctly more often I'd not have any failures... :)

You need:
170 gms Butter (melted)
170 gms of Sugar
140 gms of flour
1 tsp of baking powder
2 tbs of cocoa powder
A few drops of Vanilla essence
3 eggs
1/2 cup of milk

Method:
- Grease and dust a baking mould
- Seive the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder together.
- Mix in the melted butter and sugar and beat it till its white and fluffy (the trick is in how much and how long you can beat it)
- Mix in the eggs one at a time and mix thoroughly
- Fold in the flour mixture gently and little by little and mix it well.
- Add in the vanilla essence and some milk to get a dropping consistency.
- Add the mixture into a mould and bake it in a pre heated oven at 180 degrees for 20-30 minutes.

Chocolate cake is ready!
