Chocolate Cake

‘Chocolate Cake’ is my son’s favorite cake. The dark color and the softness of the cake is irresistible! It is so yum that you will ask for more…! I avoid icing on my cakes for health reasons, but you can decorate the cake with any icing of your choice.
This ‘Chocolate Cake’ is off to Hema’s event “CFK: Chocolate” which was started by Sharmi

I am also sending the cake for the event “Kid’s Delight ” hosted by Srivalli

Ingredients
All purpose flour/ Maida – 2 3/4 cups
Baking powder – 1/2 tsp
Baking soda – 2 tsp
Salt – 1/2 tsp
Cocoa powder – 1 cup
Boiling water – 2 cups
Vanilla Essence – 1 1/2 tsp
Butter – 1 cup
Sugar – 2 1/4 cup
Eggs – 4

Method
Pour boiling water over cocoa and whisk until smooth. Let it cool. Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Keep aside. Cream butter and sugar in a bowl. Add each egg and blend well. Add the vanilla and mix well. Add flour mixture alternately with cocoa mixture and fold in. Pour into prepared cake moulds. Bake in a preheated oven on 350 degree F or 175 degree C for 25 to 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Leave it in the oven for 10 minutes. Take out and allow it to cool completely before serving. Enjoy with your kids!
