Simple chocolate cake

This is a very basic chocolate cake and can be made in 30 minutes.



Ingredients
  • All purpose flour - 2/3 cup 
  • Cocoa powder - 1/3 cup
  • Eggs- 2
  • Oil - 3/4 cup
  • Sugar - 1 cup (powdered)
  • baking powder- 1 tsp
  • Vanilla essence - 1 tsp

Method
  • Grease a cake pan with butter 
  • Sift all purpose flour, cocoa and baking powder thrice.
  • In a bowl break the eggs and beat, pour in oil and stir well
  • Add powdered sugar and vanilla essence. Blend well
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold in with a wooden spoon.
  • If the batter is thick you can add a little milk. 

Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Adjust your oven accordingly.
For a change I baked this cake in a vessel made of aluminium foil (the ones you use for packing food) and so the shape. And also used the parchment paper so the cake won't stick to the bottom.

This chewy choco cake goes to the event hosted by anjali
