Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:

1. 400 gms Cake Flour
2. 1 tsp. Vanilla Essence
3. 60 gms cocoa powder
4. 340 gms butter
5. 8 eggs
6. 460 gms castor sugar
7. 1 tsp baking powder
8. 1/2 cup coke

Method:

• Sieve the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder together and keep it aside.
• Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.
• Heat the butter a little, add coke to it and remove from fire
• Add sugar to the melted butter and stir.
• Add the egg yolks and vanilla essence and beat it until the mixture is light and creamy
• Go on adding the flour mixture to the creamed butter, a spoon at a time and mix well until all flour is used up.
• Beat the egg whites until light and fluffy.
• Add this to the cake mixture and mix until everything is mixed up thoroughly.
• Pour the cake mixture into a greased baking tin and bake at 180 degrees for 30 minutes or until the cake is baked and does not come out sticky from the middle. You can test this with the help of a toothpick or any thin rod. If the toothpick comes out clean then the cake has baked completely.
