Prep Time:10-12 min
Baking Time: 15 -20 mins
Decoration Time: Vary, I usually decorate simple and easy
Servings:4
Ingredients:
For Cake
1 cup plain or cake flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3-4 tbsp cocoa powder-for darker cake you can also add some melted dark chocolate.
1/2 can of Condensed milk about 200gm
1/2 stick - 4 tbsp -about 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened(You can add more butter if you want up to 6 tbsp)
1 tsp Vanilla essence
Cola coke or pepsi or any soda-add till you get right consistancy of batter
Ingredients For Frosting and toppings:
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup icing/powdered sugar
1/2 cup or more grated chocolate curls or shavings
1/4 cup cherries, or as needed
You
can also moist your cake with 1/4 cup of orange juice. Once cakes are
baked and while decorating, pour orange juice on chocolate cakes for
great flavor.
Direction:
For making Cake:
Grease and flour 2- 5" inch square or circle baking pan and put on side.
Preheat the oven at 190 degrees C or 350F.
Sift all the dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, baking soda and cocoa powder through Sieve in a medium size bowl and keep on side.
Beat together condensed milk and butter until its light and cream.
Add in vanilla essence beat it together until its well mixed.
Now start adding the dry ingredients along with little coke alternatively at a time and beat slowly, follow this until all the dry ingredients is finished and well blended and you get a uniform batter.
Pour the batter in the prepared baking tin and bake for 15-20 mins until a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
Baking time may vary, depend on the size of cake and thickness of course.
For preparing cream based Icing:
I usually use ready whipped cream but if you have heavy whipping cream, take 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and beat it on high for 8 to 10 mins until its stiff enough and hold its shape. To make sure if the cream is ready it should give peaks.
Add icing sugar and fold in slowly making sure that cream does not loose it's texture, thickness.
Cut your cakes into flat shape if they are not already.
Now, if you want to add extra moisture to your baked cake by pouring orange juice all over the cakes.
Spread an even layer of fresh cream icing, top it with your favorite jam.
Place the other layer of cake carefully on the top and start covering the sides and top of the cake with the remaining icing. Before covering the sides of the cake do not forget to moisturize the top using the orange juice. Drizzle some juice on top using spoon.
Try to cover the sides and top as evenly as possible, don't worry too much if its uneven as anyways we will be covering it up with chocolates and cherries.
For the sides you can simple sprinkle some chocolate curls or chocolate sprinkles but I have made a border.
Finally decorate the top of the cake with lots of chocolate curls and cherries, this decoration can be as you like, let your imagination play wild. I have kept it simple here but possibilities are endless for decorating cake your way!
Enjoy mouthwatering cake with friends and family!
