Over the years most people i have met are foodies in some way or the other. One of the greatest influence on me is my close friend Aparna. A great cook herself, she is the kind who remembers recipes at her tips and probably doesn't even keep a notebook.. a lot of my recipes' are borrowed from her.
this particular chocolate cake is so hit that it has to be made for family dinners.. it is an extremely versatile cake since u can use icing on it , eat it with vanilla ice cream or simple serve it plain..
all you need is
11/4 cup sugar ( brown or plain)
11/4 cup Maida
1 cup butter ( amul would do)
1/2 cocoa powder
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1tsp baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup warm water
u can add roughly 30 ml rum.. instead of plain water the mixed liquid should be 1/2 cup. but that is entirely up to you
assorted nuts ( walnut, raisins) 1/2 cup approx
