Oh man.... how did I end up being so busy??? I don't work full time, I have some help at home and yet I hardly find any time for activities other than routine. This cake was my second baking experiment and 1st chocolate cake ( I made it in November 2013 and I am posting it now at the end of Feb 2014). Although I am a beginner at baking, this turned out very good. I am casual with my measurements. By that I mean that I usually go by unmeasured ingredients while cooking, and also while baking I tend to divert a little from exact measurements. Hence if my cake turns out well, I believe anyone can bake :-)

All-purpose flour/ Maida: 1 3/4 cups
Cocoa powder(I used Cadbury's): 3/4 cup
Sugar (granulated):
Baking powder: 1 1/2 tsp
Baking soda: 1 1/2 tsp
Salt: a pinch
Eggs: 2
Black coffee:1 cup

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees
C. Apply butter and dust flour on the cake pan.
2. In a bowl whisk together all the dry ingredients (flour, sugar,cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt).
3. In another bowl, whisk
together wet ingredients(eggs, black coffee, milk, oil, and vanilla extract). 4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk, until combined. Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
