Cocoa devil's food cake




Have mentioned in the previous post of mine about my new buy 'Joy of cooking' , I am browsing through the book every day to try out something new :). Have tried a devils cake before but thought of trying this one too. Looked simple with handy ingredients. So here it is

Ingredients and method

Whisk together 
2 cups sifted flour ( I used atta)
1 tspn baking soda
1/2 tspn salt

Whisk in a separate bowl
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup butter milk or yogurt
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tspn vanilla

Beat in a large bowl
1/2 cup of unsalted butter

Gradually add and beat  
1 cup powdered sugar

Beat in one at a time 
2 eggs

On low speed add the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with butter milk mixture in 2 parts, beating until smooth. Scrape the batter into the pan and spread evenly. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for about 30-35 min or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven, cool in the pan for sometime and then remove to the wire rack to cool
Easy , bake and enjoy! :)
