Choco-nuty Cake

This is an easy make cake. Add less percentage of baking flour, if the cake has to be soft and rich with choco taste along your choice dry fruits. I have used cashew, almonds and raisens. See that you don't bake it for long instant. You can avoid pineapple & carrots, which I have added a spoonful over here. Plain dry nut can only be used for making cake. Here I have used 3 eggs. Rest ingredients & procedure are the same which you can find in Rich Choco-Pineapple Cake.

Cake can become softer as you gain experience and have a flare idea on ingredients added into it. I have added lot of dry nuts into this recipe. It was indeed a rich Choco nutyyyy Cake ;)
People who don't have egg can add little more the amount of butter. Finely when done, you can dust some icing-sugar onto it.  

Rich Choco-Pineapple Cake

A very HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my Blog readers!! I made this New Year eve an easy one bowl Choco-Pineapple Cake. To my surprise it was soft-spongy, and the choco-pineapple flavor was well balanced as pineapple along with the added dry nut is well jelled along the cake!! Its very easy & simple, you need 10 mins for preparation (if all ingredients are near you is better) 40 mins for baking, and 10 mins for setting aside.

 

Ingredients:
1/3 cup butter, softened
2 cups maida (cake flour), sifted before measuring
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup finely chopped pineapple (choice)
2 tbsp baking powder
1 small tbsp salt
1/3 cup butter wiped in chocolate (melt the chocolate bar 2 medium choco bar)

1/2 cup milk
3 eggs 
5 tbsp Cocoa powder

1/2 cup each of raisins and cashew nut pieces

1 Choco bar melted for last decoration (topping)

Preparation:

• Mix well the softened butter along melted chocolate.

• Add the beaten egg, and wip well.

• Add the finely chopped pineapple pieces and mix well ( I have added pineapple here instead of vanilla extract, as it gives good aroma and fruity flavor to the cake).

•  Add the cocoa powder and mix well, see that you avoid clumping. So better is to add a table spoon full each time with continuous mixing.

 Now you can see the cocoa mixed content below

 

• Add raisins, cashew nut pieces, baking powder, milk (I have added chilled raw milk), granulated sugar and mix well.

•  Add maida little by little and mix well each time, avoid clumping of the flour.

•  Grease paper with butter well and set it well in the aluminum vessel.

• Spread well the cake mixture into the vessel, set the pressure cooker before hand for 15 mins under medium flame.
• Place a meshed vessel inside the bottom of cooker, now keep the aluminum vessel above it and bake for 40 mins under semi-medium flame. After which switch off the burner and keep the cooker for 10 mins.

Cake ready after baking!

• Transfer the cake to a plate to give your desired shape cutting and decoration!
• I spread the melted choco cream over as a topping, and kept the cake aside for setting for 10 mins
• It is very simple, yet worth making at home.. This time I didn't do the icing of cake, as we were all eager to eat it :P  
• I had an idea of soaking the cake in chilled dilute rum. This would indeed taste yum... Well next time am gonna try different variations for sure!!
