HOT CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE
HOT CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE
( My own take on the original hot chocolate fudge cake 😋🍰)
Please don't go by the look of the cake . It may not be a perfectly risen or a good looking cake but it surely tasted awesome and fudgy.
It so happened that one lazy Sunday , just after breakfast I got a phone call from a friend of mine that she would be coming over for some work .
At this short notice all I could think of was a biscuit cake . So I put together all the ingredients required to bake this cake and let the microwave do the rest of the job , till I got ready .
But when the cake came out of the oven , it was sunken . I just couldn't understand where I had gone wrong with this foolproof recipe . Then I saw the culprit staring at me . In haste I had forgotten to put the Eno in the batter . The pouch lay unopened on the kitchen counter . ' Haste makes waste'. But I hate wastage of food . The very thought of dumping the failed cake was troubling me .
'Dont cry over a disastrous attempt at making biscuit cakes ' .
This is what I have learned after my first attempt at making these , one summer day. I crumbled up the ' failed' cake and put it back in the blender jar . Added some milk .This time I didn't forget the Eno and put the batter in a microsafe bowl and microwaved for 2-3 min . Voila ! Soon it was converted into a yummy Fudge cake , though not too good looking .
Dressed it up beautifully with the left over FROZEN MANGO YOGHURT , I had made for dinner previous night and it was such a satisfying feeling to see my creation been relished by my friend , her little daughter and my family.
