Ingredients:
  • For the Chocolate Cake
  • • Sugar*, 2 cups (or 450 grams approx.)
  • • Flour (or maida), 1¾ cups (230 grams approx.)
  • • Cocoa Powder, 1 cup (125 grams)
  • • Baking Powder, 1½ teaspoons
  • • Salt, 1 teaspoon
  • • Eggs, 2 (or 1 cup/240ml buttermilk**)

  • For the Chocolate Frosting
  • • Softened unsalted Butter (or white butter), 150 grams
  • • Whipping Cream***, 4 tablespoons
  • • Icing Sugar, 1 cup (or 110 grams)
  • • Cocoa Powder, ⅔ cup (or 85 grams approx.)
  • • Vanilla Essence, 1 teaspoon
  • *I used 1½ cup white sugar and ½ cup dark brown sugar, you can however, use only white.
  • ** To make 1 cup buttermilk, boil 1 cup milk, once it starts boiling add a tablespoon of lemon juice. As soon as the milk curdles take it off heat and sieve it. Use the liquid part as buttermilk in the recipe. Wait for it to come to room temp before you use it.
  • ***I use Whipping cream by Rich's. For the frosting, only use cream with 40% fat content or over.
