I baked my first cake in 2009 when i had lot of time during weekends and from then baking was my favourite past time . Now even though i dont have lesiure time as all my time is dedicated to my 6 month old DS i try to squeeze time so that i can bake and to feel iam atleast tring to master one art :)
With lots of No- No's from my husband saying you are stressing yourself, i started looking for recipes and after much thought i decided chocolate cake is safe bet. So found a Choclate cake recipe from a book which i got from my friend , added some coffee to the cake batter and finshed the cake with chocolate butter icing and glaced cherries.
Ingredients :
For the Cake :
100gms - Salted butter
100gms - Caster Sugar
75gms - Self Raising Flour
25gms - Cocoa powder
1 tsp - dissolved instant coffee
2 - Medium Eggs
For Choclate butter Icing:
50gms - Butter
100gms - Icing Sugar
25 gms - Melted Chocolate
Preparation :
For Cake :
Heat oven to 180 C / 350 F .
Grease an 7 inch (18 cm) cake tin.
Mix Flour and cocoa powder together.
Mix butter and sugar untill light and fluffy(I used food processor)
Beat in eggs one at a time adding little flour with each.
Gently fold in the remaining flour and add dissolved instant coffee..
Pour the cake batter in greased tin ( i covered cake tin with kitchen foil and greased it.) and bake untill 40 -45 minutes.
For Choclate butter Icing:
Cream the icing sugar and butter by gradually adding them.
Add the melted chocolate to it and mix.
Note :
1.Ice the cake once the cake is cool, Never attempt to ice a cake straight from oven.
