Yummy Coffee chocolate cake

Call it a evil devil or dark magic or whatever cake, I simple loved my coffee chocolate cake.

Came across the recipe over allrecipes.com and wolla, my heart just fell for the name coffee... This cake has a very special ingredient - freshly brewed coffee. I have a special love for a perfect madras degree kaapi and finely ground Ethiopian coffee. So my mad love ended up in mixing an authentic madras kaapi powder with finely ground Ethiopian coffee beans. My everyday morning starts with this coffee for sure. So having some brewed coffee, the cake was ready to make(bake). For finale, I just topped the cake with Nutella. The cake just melted in my mouth.

As said earlier, you can check the link for the recipe above.

The funny part was the shape of my cake. I always try to wrap my pan with foil in order to lessen the cleaning, the crumbles and crushings on the foil really gave a funny looking cake.. :)
I always trust one say, any good presentation can make a simple dish look great, but tasting great is purely in your hands :).. Enjoy..

From this post, I am going to add yet another hobby of mine - Cooking.

I am little lazy and always want things to be fast. Like wise I love to cook fast. Sometimes it favors and sometimes it goes against my taste buds.

But here all that recipes will for sure yum your taste buds.

Ingredients :
Rava/Sooji - 1cup
Sugar - 1/4 cup

Milk - 1/2 cup

Grated  coconut - 1/4 cup

Cashews - 5-10(according to your love for cashew)

Raisins - hand full

Ghee - 2tbsp

Procedure:

For the entire procedure keep you stove in medium flame.

1. In a pan roast the cashews and Raisins with ghee until they become golden brown
2. Add the grated coconut and fry till you smell the coconut and ghee (not more than 1-2mins)
3. Now add the rava/sooji and keep tossing until the rava turns slightly brown. 
4. Add the sugar and keep stirring until the rava,sugar and coconut along with the cashew and raisins mix well.
5. Its now time to add the milk. The caramelized sugar would have already helped the ingredients to mix well. So add milk appropriately so the mix is in a consistency of making ladoos.
6. Now switch off your stove and allow the mixture to cool.  At medium heat, start making the ladoos. Never let the mixture to cool down completely, then its not possible to make ladoos.

PS: Consistency of making ladoos means, when u take a little amount of the mixture and try to make a ball, it should not fall apart.
