Hello fellow bloggers.
Doing good.?
well i am back with my another creative day but this time i didn’t cook but… BAKE 💗👩🍳
I baked a cake today for the very first time in my life. I watched a recipe on YouTube and followed it to bake a cake. I also took some help from my cousin because she is a pro at baking cakes. Now, let me tell you all how I made the cake.
At first Lets discuss the ingredients.
INGREDIENTS
FOR CAKE DOUGH
•All purpose Flour
•Cocoa powder
•Baking powder
•Egg
•Milk
•Icing sugar
•Vanilla essence
•Cooking oil
•Minor amount of Salt
FOR LAYERING
•Whipping cream
•Icing sugar
•Cocoa powder
FOR TOPPING
•Butter
•Dairy milk or any chocolate
PROCESS
First, I took out a spacious bowl so that I could prepare the mixture properly. I started by mixing the dry ingredients in the bowl. The primary dry ingredient is all-purpose flour, to which I added other dry ingredients. Next, I added cocoa powder and baking powder to the flour. After that, I added icing sugar and a pinch of salt, and mixed everything well.
Then, I added an egg to the mixture and mixed it thoroughly. After that, I poured in milk and cooking oil and whisked it all together until well combined.I added some amount of vanilla essence too. And that’s how our mixture was ready.
Then, I took a baking pan and applied cooking oil to the base so that the cake wouldn't stick to the pan. Then i placed a butter paper on it. After that, I poured the mixture into a baking pan and placed it in the oven to bake at the required temperature. I covered the mixture with aluminium foil sheet.
I kept checking it periodically to ensure it was baking properly.

Once it was fully cooked through, I took it out of the oven.

After that, I needed to prepare the ganache, so I took whipping cream and started beating it with a beater. If I had continued to beat it like that, it would never have thickened. First, I took a bowl filled with ice and placed another bowl on top of it, in which I was to beat the cream, so that the base of the bowl stayed cold and the cream thickened quickly. Meanwhile, I kept adding cocoa powder to the cream along with the proper amount of sugar. Once the cream reached the desired consistency, I stopped beating it.

After that, I took the cake out onto a large plate and started with the layering and topping. I cut the cake horizontally into two parts and set the top layer aside. On the bottom layer, I first applied a bit of oil, then spread the whipped cream mixture on top. After that, I sprinkled chocolate chips over it. Then, I placed the second layer of the cake on top and repeated the same procedure.
Finally, I gave the cake an even look.Ta-Da..🥮
It was utterly butterly delicious. The kids at home were very happy with my baking skills. I promised them that I would definitely make it again for them, and I really enjoyed baking. I have decided to continue this hobby and improve my baking skills.
So i will continue to share my baking skills as i polished them with time.
Take care till then.💐
