– 1 cup refined flour
– 1 cup sugar (powdered)
– 1/2 cup cocoa powder
– 1 tsp baking powder
– 1/2 tsp baking soda

– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/2 cup hot water
Method:
1. Preparation:
– First of all preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

– Sieve all the dry ingredients so that there are no lumps and the cake batter is smooth.
3. Mix the wet ingredients:
– Now add oil, eggs (or curd), and vanilla essence in another vessel and beat it well.
– After this add milk to it and mix it again.
4. Prepare the batter:
– Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well so that no lumps are formed.
– Then add hot water and make the batter very smooth and fluffy.
5. Bake the cake:
– Pour the prepared batter into the cake mould and bake in a preheated oven for 30-35 minutes.
To check the doneness of the cake, insert a toothpick in it. If the toothpick comes out clean, then the cake is ready.
– Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool.
6. Serve:
– After cooling, remove the cake from the mold and decorate it with chocolate sauce, whipped cream or chocolate chips as per your choice.

Tips:
1. If you are making eggless chocolate cake, you can use curd or condensed milk.
2. To make the cake even more delicious, you can also add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to it.
3. To give the right texture to the chocolate cake, do not beat the batter too much, else the cake may become hard.
