Super lovely, moist chocolate cake. Yumm..
Simple and moist looking
Can this be done in a convection microwave too?
Yes, it can be done. I did it in my OTG oven.
heyy when i prepared it it was too much wateryyy.. I think its a waste of tym and moneyy..
The batter will be a little water (as you can see in the picture) but once you bake it, it will be perfect. You must have gone wrong somewhere.
simply delicious and tempting cake
beautifully made.looks amazing.

I tried it today in convection microwave and it came out superb......The measurements are perfect....added walnuts for some crunchiness..Thanks a lot for this wonderful recipe...
Hi padhu can u plz tell me how can i do the above recipe using pressure cooker
Yes, you can bake in pressure cooker. Follow the same procedure as mentioned in my vanilla cake in pressure cooker (check the recipe in cakes and bakes)
Hi padhu,
I got my otg a few days back and this is my first attempt at baking. I halved all the ingredients and increased the baking time by another 5 min. The cake was perfect . Less sugary and sans butter healthy too.
Thanks for sharing your hard work.
