This Chocolate Cake is very special. I baked this cake for my son Ravikanth on his birthday. It came out yummy and just beautiful. I am Happy for that we had good time spent with Ravi during his lunch hours.
It is an eggless cake with minimum sugar, dates and dark chocolate. You can use more sugar if you love to have little more sweet. I have used curd, milk, cinnamon and cooking oil.
2. Grind sugar, dates, cinnamon into powder.
3. Add oil and grind nicely till sugar is melted.
4. Add curd and grind. Add chocolate pieces and grind again. Add banana and grind till it mixes.
5. Add milk at the end and grind for a minute. Let the mixture be soft and fluffy.
8. Mix maida baking powder, cooking soda mixture slowly. Let it mix well.
9. Apply little oil on the tray. Pour the cake mixture to the tray.
