Simple Chocolate cake

Simple Chocolate cake

I have baked cake many a times, but have never made frosting. So, this was the first time. We need a few ingredients and a beater. Thats it.

Please find the link of the recipe I followed, at the end of the post.

Also, I wanted a little different decor on the cake, so I made 3 small caramel nests. One for each of my munchkins.

A few tips

  1. If you don’t like little bitter taste, skip the espresso.
  2. The quantity used can be proportionately altered.
  3. I didn’t have that much cocoa powder. So I used drinking chocolate and reduced the amount of sugar accordingly.
  4. Start with less sugar, taste the mixture and add more sugar if required.
  5. If you want to skip eggs, you can. The result will be the same.

Happy Baking !!

P.S. I watched many a videos and the following is the one I liked the most. Click here to watch it.
