Chocolate Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

Maida - 1 cup
Sugar - 1 cup/ or lesser according to taste
Salt - 1 pinch
1 Egg or 1/2 cup Milkmaid
Vanilla essence - 1 tea spoon
Chocolate syrup - 1 table spoon (or as much as desired)
Oil - 1 table spoon
Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
Baking soda - 1 pinch
Cashewnuts, Almonds - Few cut into pieces for garnishing

Method:
Beat the egg/ milkmaid thoroughly for 2 minutes. Add all the ingredients one by one and finally add maida little by little and keep stirring as you add the ingredients. The final batter should be thick in consistency. Take a cooker and add some crystal salt to the base. Apply oil to the surface of a thick bottomed container and then pour the batter in it. Fill up only half of the container so that the cake has space to raise up. Sprinkle the cashew nuts and almonds on top of the batter. Heat the cooker with the salt for 1 minute in high flame. Simmer the flame, and place the container with the batter, inside the cooker and close it. Do not place the weight. Let it cook for 15 minutes. Open and insert a spoon into the cake. If the spoon comes out clean, the cake is ready. Else let it cook for some more time. Tasty chocolate cake is ready :)
