Chocolate Cake With Chocolate Frosting Recipe

Chocolate Cake With Chocolate Frosting

Not only it taste absolutely delicious but it's cheap & easy to make !!!

Recipe:
Chocolate Cake Ingredients (Serve 7-9) (probably the most easiest cake batter recipe ever made so far !!! And it taste great too !!!)
3 cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup of cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of bicarbonate soda
1 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
250 grams/9oz of butter
1 1/2 cup of milk
3/4 cup of vegetable oil (specifically palm oil or corn oil)
1 cup of hot water
3 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

Chocolate Frosting Ingredients (taste great and use small amount of cream !!!)
350 grams/12oz of cooking chocolate/plain chocolate, broken into pieces
115 grams/4 oz of butter
85 ml/m fl oz of double cream (double cream is whipping cream or cream that has more than 30% fat content )


Method

1) Sift the dry ingredients, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and bicarbonate soda.


2) In a separate and large bowl, stir in sugar and butter until light and creamy. Then, pour in the vegetable oil  , the sifted dry ingredients, milk, hot water, eggs and vanilla essence. Stir the mixture all together.


3) Bake the cake at 180 'C/350 'F for 45 minutes.


4) Let the cake cool for 20-30 minutes. You can also make a layer cake by pouring the same mixture in three separate cake tins. That's what I did ! And results are more than satisfying as you put the frosting in each layer ! Or you can make one big cake or/and cut it in three layers. (To make a cut straight, put the cake in another and larger cake tin or any tin with the height you want to cut and the tin will help you guide the knife in a straight cut.)


5) To make frosting, melt the chocolate and stir in butter and cream. Let it cool and chill in the fridge for couple of hours and then stir it again until it has a frosting consistency or if you want quick results ( and you're lazy like me and time is not on your side) put it in the freezer and wait for about 10-15 minutes but make sure the frosting is not freeze completely ! If you see only the edges of the frosting freeze and the middle part is still in liquid form then take it out and stir it until it achieves the frosting consistency that you want ! Then, cover the cake with the frosting and TA-DA ! A super moist chocolate-y cake with mouth watering chocolate frosting !!!!
