The Basic single layer chocolate cake
- Preheat your Oven to 180 degree centrigade
- Butter or oil a cake pan. ( which ever shape you like)
- Mix flour, sugar, sifted cocoa powder , baking powder and baking soda in the large bowl.
- Add melted butter, water, lemon juice and vanilla extract to it.
- Fold in the ingredients with a rubber spatula, till all mix evenly, till nothing is dry.
- Pour it in the cake pan.
- Place the cake pan in the Microwave or OTG and set a temperature of 180 degress in the convection mode.(remember to use only convection mode and not combination cooking, the convection mode will help the cakes to be perfect)
- Bake it for 28-30 mins depending on your oven ( If you are a new user set your oven time to 25 mins first and take out the cake to check its doneness. If you poke a toothpick in its center it should come out with a few crumbles which means you need to bake it further for 3-5 mins. If it goes in smoothly stop baking. You don't want your cake to be too dry.Try and test the timing in your own oven. If the cake is undercooked even after 30 mins, bake it further for 2-3 mins depending on how raw it is.)
- Remove from the oven and let it cool.
- Place the chopped chocolate, cream and butter in a heatproof bowl.
- Place the bowl in a pan of simmering water.
- Stir the Chocolate till all of it has mixed and turned into a nice thick chocolate sauce.
- Remove from heat and let it cool at room temperature to get it to the desired consistency required for pouring.
- Serve the cake on a serving dish
- Pour the ganache on top, let it slide.
- Decorate it with sprinklers, choco-chips, fresh fruits or dry fruits. ( I used white choco-chips)
