Moist Yummy Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:

All purpose flour(maida) - 1 & 1/2 cup
Coco powder/hot chocolate powder - 3 tblspn
sugar - 1 cup
oil - 1/4 cup
Baking soda- 1 tsp
water - 1 cup
salt - 1 pinch
vanilla essence - 1/2 tblspn

For Chocolate icing:
Butter - 3 tblspn @ room temperature.
hot chocolate powder

Procedure:
Prepare a cake tin (aluminum or metallic whichever you have) by greasing it with refined oil, line it with paper and grease again.
Pre-heat the cooker. Invert a bowl inside so that your cake tin does not touch the base of cooker.

Mix Water, Sugar and Salt in a bowl until the sugar melts and keep aside.
Now, add vanilla essence and oil to the same mixture and mix well.

Mix Maida, coco powder and baking soda in a separate bowl.
Then start adding the maida mixture to the water-sugar mixture slowly and mix well until a fine smooth & fine paste.
Add chocolate color if required, to the mixture.
Batter will NOT be too thick; which is ok.


Pour it into prepared cake tin and bake till a skewer comes out clean (approx 30-40 mins).

NOTE: The same cake can be made by steaming it in the cooker with water. The entire process remains the same, but you need to pour water in the cooker (approx more than a inch) and steam the cake batter in it for 25-30 mins.

For icing, mix the butter (@ room temperature) with chocolate powder well in a small bowl to make a fine paste.
Then use spatula or knife to apply the icing on top and sides of the cake.
Now, Decorate the cake with chocolates or fruits per your wish.

Refrigerate to server chilled chocolate cake.
