Tea time chocolate cake

     TEA TIME CHOCOLATE CAKE

Hi guys, if you're looking for something sweet to have along with your evening time snacks like it shouldn't be too sweet and it must be something soft and a little crunchy then this the right recipe for you... :)  
                                 



Ingredients needed: I've mentioned the measurement in cup as well as in tablespoons below so you can be sure you're using the right amount of ingredients. 


*2 eggs
*2/3 rd (10 tbsp+2 tsp) - cup sugar
*1/4th cup (4 tbsp) - cocoa
* 1/2 (8 tbsp) cup oil
*3/4 (12 tbsp) cup maida
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
*1/3rd (5 tbsp + 1 tsp) - cup milk
* 1 tsp of vanilla essence
* chopped nuts (almonds/cashews)



RECIPE- 

1. In a blender, add 2 eggs, 2/3rd cup sugar,1/4 cup cocoa, 1/2 cup oil and blend it for 2 minutes. Check for lumps with a spoon, in case there are lumps, blend once again.  
2. Take a large bowl, now add all our dry ingredients into it. Sieve in 3/4th cup of maida, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp of baking soda.
3. Now add the blended cocoa mix mix into this bowl. Add 1 tsp vanilla extract.
4. Give it a little mix by using cut and fold method. Slowly keep adding milk little by little (Note: I've used 1/3rd cup of milk. Make sure not to sure a lot of milk or else the cake won't set/ rise.)
*DON'T OVERMIX. It will make your cake hard, it won't rise and it will end up tasting really bad. So be careful while mixing.
5. Now take a cake mould and grease it up with oil. Add the cake mixture. Add the chopped nuts on top if you want. (I would suggest adding nuts because it gives a nice crunch to the cake which would make the cake very tasty.)
6. Preheat the oven for 15 minutes. Bake the cake at 180*C for 35-45 minutes. Check whether its cooked properly with a toothpick. 



                                




7. Serve while hot and enjoy your cake along with a steaming hot cup of tea.

Nankhatai recipe

Nankhatais' are Indian shortbread biscuits. I'm taken aback to my childhood memories when I think about this sweet snack. What I love about Nankhatai's the most is its crumbly texture.  I used to be quite fascinated by it in those days. While looking at it, one wouldn't predict how nice and buttery it tastes, but once you get a taste of it, it is surprisingly grainy and sweet! A weakness to all my fellow sweet lovers indeed. :) Okay, so since this nankhatai is so delicious and has that lovely texture what I didn't expect is how easy it was to make at home! So I decided to give it a try and it turned out to be absolutely yummy! It got finished within 2 days so I didn't have to worry about it getting spoilt too. Here's the recipe to nankhatai. It is so easy to make and make sure you do try it in this quarantine period when all of us are stressed and as the saying goes "Stressed spelled backwards is 'Dessert'". So go for it! Recipe for...
