Chocolate Cake
Ingredients:
• 1 cup malai or cream or unsalted butter
• 1 cup sugar
• ½ cup cocoa powder
• 2 tsp vanilla essence
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups self-raising flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 lemon
• 1 cup icing sugar
• ½ cup Milk
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 200c. Mix cream with sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add ¼ cup cocoa and one teaspoon vanilla essence. Mix well then add eggs and mix again. Add the flour and baking powder and mix well. The mixture will be quite runny. Pour into a greased and bottom-lined round or square cake tin. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until risen and cooked when tested with a skewer. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack. When the cake is still slightly warm overturn and remove it from the cake dish in a plate. Dissolve 2 teaspoons sugar in ½ cup water and juice of ½ lemon and spread over the overturned cake to moisten it.
To make chocolate icing, beat remaining ¼ cup butter and vanilla essence, then gradually add icing sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Mix remaining cocoa with two tablespoons water add juice of ½ lemon then add to mixture and beat until well combined. Spread over cooled cake.
