Making cake is quite art and a form, which generally is not found in the India kitchen. I am trying to get a hang of that art. So I try baking stuffs and here is one of our signature cake recipes. I will make this cake in 4 separate sets which are very important to follow and mix the sets at appropriate time when required, so follow closely.

Double Layered Chocolate Cake (with a cholocate cream layer in between)

Set 1

Bournville Dark Cocoa chocolate

Milk 100ml

Take a saucepan and put it in the stove at the low flame, pour milk and put the bournville chocolate in it melt it slowly in the low flame till all the chocolate is nicely melted and mixed in the milk.

Set 2

150gms butter

Castor sugar 2 ½ cups (You will get this in super market)

2 eggs

You can melt the butter and put it in a mixing bowl. Add the castor sugar and nicely beat it together for 3mins. Place the 2 eggs now and again start beating it for 10mins. Try using hand blending/beater equipment, which you will easily get in the market. Remember mixing is very important in making a cake. So beat this mixture till you will see the mixture turns into a nice creamy texture.

Now, mix Set 1 and Set 2 and again nicely mix it to a creamy texture.

Set 3

Flour 2 cups

Cocoa powder 4 tablespoon

Baking powder 1 teaspoon

Cooking soda ¼ teaspoon

Mix all these items nicely in bowl, this is a dry mix.

Now, mix Set 3 with the mixture, which you prepared earlier (mixing set 1 and set 2).

Beat the whole mix nicely for 5-10mins.

Now, take 2 baking moulds, use two 6-inch diameter aluminum moulds, you will get them in a utensil shop, I got them from Big Bazaar.

Now, equally divide the mixture in 2 moulds. The following settings are very important, Pre-heat your oven, its very important and set your oven temperature to 180 degrees centigrade and bake them for 25mins.

If your oven cannot hold 2 cakes together then bake them separately.

Now, create a cream layer mix as your cake is getting baked

Set 4

Butter 50gms

Fresh Amul Cream 200 gms

Cocoa powder 2 tablespoon

Icing sugar 1 ½ cup

Vanila essence ½ tablespoon

Mix and beat these items altogether nicely with the beater for about 10mins to bring in a nice creamy texture. Place this mix in the low flame stove in a sauce pan and stir continuously till you see the texture has turned little dark brown in color and little more thicker creamier.

Final thing, once your cake is baked take them out and place the set 4 chocolate cream on top of one cake and spread it nicely over it and then place the second cake on top of the first cake. This makes it a nice double layered cake with a chololate cream layer in between……

Yummmm... a one more thing you can also garnish it with almonds to make it a chocolate almond cake...

I know your mouth is already watering so quickly try this out… it tastes good both hot and also cold.

Enjoy!!
