Layered Choclate cake

Its been realllllllllllly long time since i have had like real food posts here. So finally i am wide awake to start posting regularly. Since its been really long time since my last post i wanted to post something sweet. Weather wise its still cold in PA, so baking was a good option that way its warmer in the kitchen :-). The original recipe is from Shilpa's black forest recipe but i have made a few changes.

This is a simple layered cake recipe.


Ingredients :
1 and 2/3 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 and 1/2 tea spn baking soda
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
1/2 tea spn salt
1 and 1/2 cups milk
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Method :
Preheat the oven at 350F for 10mins.
Sieve together flour, baking soda.
In a large bowl, mix butter and sugar. When they are well mixed, add eggs. Beat. Add milk, salt and mix.
Add the flour mixture little by little mixing it all the time. Now once the mixture is nice, half the mixture. We need half in white and half in brown. So in the first half mix all the cocoa powder. In the baking dish alternately mix first cocoa then white layers.

Pour the mix in a greased oven dish. Bake at 350F for about 40mins, before removing insert a skewer, it should come out clean.



I do not have step by step fotos to show the layers but i will update this post with photos sometime later.
