Ingredients:

• 1 .75 cups – Maida (235 gms)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup – Cooking oil (125 ml)
• 1 cup – Boiling water (250 ml)
• 1.5 cups – Powdered Sugar (240 gms)
• 3/4 cup – Cocoa powder (100 gms)
• 1.5 tsp – Baking powder
• 1.5 tsp – Baking soda
• 1/2 tsp – Salt
• 2 tsp – Vanilla essence

Method:

1. In a bowl, sift together maida, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cocoa powder at least twice to ensure even spreading. Then add sugar and mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, beat eggs till fluffy, add milk, oil, boiling water and vanilla essence and beat well using a whisk or electric mixer.
3. Now add the maida-cocoa mixture in parts to the egg-milk mixture and mix well, making sure no lumps are formed. The batter will be a little runny.
4. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Grease and flour the baking pan, pour the batter and bake at 180 degrees C for 30-35 minutes. Check if a fork inserted comes out clean, then your cake is done.
5. Cool on wire rack for 15 minutes and then slice it into pieces. Serve as it is or after frosting.
