Cavvy's cake, now open source :)

We had been to Cavvy's place this Christmas, a gang of ten people. And aunty was extremely kind make infi dinner for all of us. Dinner was a sumptuous delight consisting of veg and egg noodles, macaroons, biscuits, cookies and infi cake!!!

Since that day on, I have been badgering and pestering Cavvy to give me the recipe of the gr8 chocolate cake and after a whole semester of begging him, he finally gave it to me.

This is a cake that will put Monginis to shame. It had a delicious layer of cream all over it. Aaaah, finger-licking pleasure. I would like to share the recipe:

Ingredients:

1.5 cups (140 gms) maida

1 cup (150 gms) thick curd

0.75 cup (100 gms) sugar (grain and powdered)

0.5 cup (65 gms) oil

1 tsp baking powder, 0.5 tsp soda

1 tsp vanilla

(These quantities are for a small sized cake; for a larger cake double the above quantities( except for the baking pwd and soda, use 1.5 tsp baking pwd and 0.75 tsp soda))

Procedure:

Remove 6 tsp(3 tablespoons) maida and replace it with 6 tsp(3 tablespoons) of cocoa. Sieve the flour mixture well and keep aside.

Mix sugar and curd till sugar dissolves

Add baking powder and soda. Mix well. Let it stand for 2-3 mins. Bubbles will appear.

Add oil, mix well, add essence, add maida, mix well.

The mixture should be of dropping consistency. If too thick, add more curd.
