This chocolate fudge cake is heaven for chocolate lovers. I can die for this cake. My kids love this and you can make it for birthday parties or as dessert after lunch or dinner. Sorry for little messy frosting but taste was heavenly good.

Ingredients OF Chocolate Fudge Cake

Dry Ingredients

• 2 cups flour, sifted
• 1 1/2 cup caster sugar
• 3/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 tsp baking soda

Wet Ingredients

• 2/3 cup oil
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tsp vanilla essence
• 1/4 cup curd (yogurt without water)
• 3/4 cup hot water
• 2 eggs

For Fudge Frosting

• 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 3/4 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Method Of Chocolate Fudge Cake

• Beat all wet ingredients together. Add dry ingredients in them and beat again.
• Grease two pans and pour batter equally in them. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 30-35 minutes or till your cake is baked fully.
• Cool down your both cakes fully.

For Fudge Frosting

• Melt the chocolate in the microwave – 2 to 3 minutes on medium should do it – or in a bowl sitting over a pan of simmering water, and let cool slightly.
• In another bowl beat the butter until it’s soft and creamy (again, I use the stand mixer here) and then add the sifted confectioners’ sugar and beat again until everything’s light and fluffy. I know sifting is a pain, the 1 job in the kitchen I really hate, but you have to do it or the icing will be unsoothingly lumpy. Then gently add the vanilla and chocolate and mix together until everything is glossy and smooth.
• Sandwich the middle of the cake with about a quarter of the icing, and then ice the top and sides, too, spreading and smoothing with a rubber spatula

Besan halwa or gram flour halwa is a specialty of winters. You can store this halwa up to months in the fridge. For perfect halwa make sure to make it on low flame and in the nonstick pan as besan burns easily. I always use milk and ground sugar in making this halwa. I don’t like much sweet so you can adjust sugar according to your taste.

Ingredients Of Besan halwa

• 2 cups gram flour
• 1 cup sugar, ground
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup ghee
• 1 cup Balai (milk cream, optional)
• 6 cardamoms
• Almonds and pistachios for garnishing, chopped

Method Of Besan Halwa

• Heat ghee in a non-stick pan, add cardamoms and fry them for few seconds.
• Add gram flour and cook it on very low flame stirring continuously. You have to cook the gram flour at least for 15-20 minutes or until you feel its aroma and its cooked. Add half Balai after 10 minutes and another half after 20 minutes.
• Add sugar and mix it well. When sugar dissolves then increase the flame to medium and add milk and stir until milk is mixed thoroughly. Stir it continuously at this stage.

Chocolate Cookie Cups Recipe By Chef Mehboob is a post from: Neel's Corner

Devil chocolate cake is really very easy to make and it is super moist and yummy. I tried this recipe of famous chef Nigella Lawson. The icing on this cake is little tricky. The secret is to make it before making your cake. While you’re making it, don’t panic. The mixture will seem very runny for ages once the chocolate has melted and you will think you have a liquid gleaming glaze, beautiful but unfit for purpose; leave it for about an hour, as stipulated, though, and it will be perfect and spreadable. I used simple sugar of this cake.

Ingredients Of Devil Chocolate Cake

• 50 grams best-quality cocoa powder (sifted)
• 100 grams dark brown muscovado sugar
• 250 milliliters boiling water
• 125 grams soft unsalted butter (plus some for greasing)
• 150 grams caster sugar
• 225 grams plain flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs

FOR THE FROSTING

• 125 milliliters water
• 30 grams dark brown muscovado sugar
• 175 grams unsalted butter (cubed)
• 300 grams best-quality dark chocolate (finely chopped)

Method Pf devil Chocolate Cake

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4/350°F.
2. Line the bottoms of two 20cm / 8inch round sandwich tins with baking parchment and butter the sides.
3. Put the cocoa and 100g / half cup dark muscovado sugar into a bowl with a bit of space to spare, and pour in the boiling water. Whisk to mix, then set aside.
4. Cream the butter and caster sugar together, beating well until pale and fluffy; I find this easiest with a freestanding mixer, but by hand wouldn’t kill you.
5. While this is going on – or as soon as you stop if you’re mixing by hand – stir the flour, baking powder, and bicarb together in another bowl, and set aside for a moment.
6. Dribble the vanilla extract into the creamed butter and sugar – mixing all the while – then drop in 1 egg, quickly followed by a scoopful of the flour mixture, then the second egg.
7. Keep mixing and incorporate the rest of the dried ingredients for the cake, then finally mix and fold in the cocoa mixture, scraping its bowl well with a spatula.
8. Divide this fabulously chocolaty batter between the 2 prepared tins and put in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
9. Take the tins out and leave them on a wire rack for 5–10 minutes, before turning the cakes out to cool.
10. But as soon as the cakes are in the oven, get started on your frosting: put the water, 30g / 2 tablespoons muscovado sugar and 175g / 1 1/2 sticks butter in a pan over a low heat to melt.
11. When this mixture begins to bubble, take the pan off the heat and add the chopped chocolate, swirling the pan so that all the chocolate is hit with heat, then leave for a minute to melt before whisking till smooth and glossy.
12. Leave for about 1 hour, whisking now and again – when you’re passing the pan – by which time the cakes will be cooled, and ready for the frosting.
13. Set one of the cooled cakes, with its top side down, on a cake stand or plate, and spread with about a third of the frosting, then top that with the second cake, regular way up, and spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides, swirling away with your spatula. You can go for a smooth look, but I never do and probably couldn’t.
