[4 mins read]

Hi Everyone!!!
How has the month of june been? Well its about to get delicious believe me😀

So today we'll be learning something a bit different from the regular food recipes. It's Chocolate cake people! Yass you read that right, not just an ordinary chocolate cake. It's the type that will leave you craving for more.

Its no exaggeration when i say this chocolate cake is as good as the one Bruce Bogtrotter ate in the movie Matilda. It is moist, chocolaty and tasty to mention a few.

Being a baker myself, i've struggled to get that perfect chocolate cake recipe that is not too expensive yet delicious to a fault. Then i came across this recipe that is not just affordable and tasty but also easy to make. That's one of the reasons why it is my favourite chocolate cake recipe of all time, the fact that it is not stressful  or complicated to make would inspire my lovely readers to give it a try being bakers or not.

Enough of the talking right?? Let's start baking...

Ingredients
* 3cups All purpose flour
* 3 cups granulated sugar
* 1½ cups cocoa powder
* 4 large eggs
* 1½ teaspoons salt
* 1½ teaspoons baking powder
* 1 tablespoon baking soda

* 1½ cups warm water
* ½ cup vegetable oil
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

*Add whisked eggs, oil, warm water, buttermilk and vanilla. Mix thoroughly until smooth. Be careful not to over-mix.

*Divide the batter among pans and bake for about 30 minutes.
   To know if the cake is ready, stick in a toothpick and see if it comes out clean.

* Cool on wire racks until completely cooled. You can frost with your favourite frosting and most importantly enjoy!
               

NOTES:

Food fact #3-  Chocolate Is Literally Chemical Love. It contains a chemical called phenylethylamine 
Phenylethylamine releases certain “pleasure” endorphins in the brain, which make people feel good all over -- similar to how they feel when they’re madly in love.

With the Eid-el Fitr celebrations coming up. Wont be a bad idea for our muslim readers to add this to their menu for the festival. Trust me your guests would love it..
