Chocolate Cake With Gooey Choco Icing

Me, being one of those who can't resist choco cakes, this was the first thing i learnt to bake in a microwave...When cooking, i can't be bothered about measurements..i usually have a fair idea of the ingredients and then add/delete stuff as per my liking...so this choco cake may not be "traditional" but it works...

For the cake

Ingredients:1 cup (traditional Indian katori) maida
3 tablespoons of cocoa powder (i used Cadbury's)
3/4 cup powdered sugar (alternatively, use castor sugar in the same quantity)
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup cooking oil like sunflower oil (you can use butter but i find using oil easier)
1 tea spoon baking powder
2 pinches baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
a teeny pinch of salt
1 drop of vinegar (this reacts with the baking soda/powder and makes the cake light n spongy)

Method:

Mix all the wet ingredients together and beat with a fork for 3-4 minutes. Sift all the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl. Now add the dry to wet (yep, always dry to wet although i don't really know why!) and mix thoroughly taking care that no lumps are formed.
Bake in a microwave at 650-700 deg C for 2-3 minutes. Then turn down the temperature to 400 and bake for another 2-3 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the middle and if it comes out clean, you're good to go. Else, bake in bacthes of 30 seconds till the toothpick comes out clean.
For the icing

200 ml cream
1 bar of cadbury's (the 10 rupee one)
2 tea spoons cocoa powder
a cup of icing sugar (you can substitute with powdered sugar + 2 tea spoons corn flour)
2 teaspoons of honey

Heat the cream over a low flame, stirring continously. Once the cream is scalding hot, turn off the heat and allow to cool for 2 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and pour the hot cream on top. Stir ensuring no lumps are formed.

Let this mixture cool to room temperature.

Now slice the cake in half horizonatally and spread some choco-cream on one half. Top with the other half of the cake.

Pour the remaining mixture on top of the cake and drizzle all along the edges. At this stage, you can decorate the cake.

Let this cake cool in the fridge for 20 minutes so that the icing is firm..n it's ready to serve!
