Old fashioned cake


Inspired by watching shows on the television my little one who is a beautiful young lady now,
spent her 2 months vacations with us baking the best Chocolate Cakes ever among other cakes. She followed recipes from here and there. See how beautiful it turned out.

 Je randhe se chul o bandhe  in Bengali it means  someone who can cook well, can do other things well too....now she is off to the South to work for a large private company. An aerospace engineer baking a cake ....sounds strange but see it for yourself here.


 

This is an easy recipe for all to follow. Old fashioned cake that our mom's used to bake for our birthday parties.
Its as easy as preparing with a cake mix !!

It's necessary to pre-heat your oven always . She pre-heats  at180 degrees .

Coat the baking tray with butter and dust some flour on it .

She put 1 &1/2 cups of Refined Flour, 1 cup Sugar,1 tsp Baking Powder, 2 eggs, 100 grams of white butter, 1/2 cup of Cocoa Powder, 2 tsp Vanilla Essence, 1/2 cup Cream all into a food Processor. When it turns into a smooth paste its time to fill it into a baking tin.

Bake for 35 minutes. After about 20-25 minutes put a Toothpick and check if the cake is done.

When ready, remove the cake tin and cool the cake in the tin.
Remove the cake only after its cool.

You can make an icing but we enjoyed it almost immediately without icing.

You try, but keep aside a piece for yourself first, as Nigella Lawson does. Have fun baking.
