Food, the only passion that relates majority of us mortals despite geographical boundaries , and I am no exception. My escapades with different Cuisines landed me in a less ventured territory, Anglo Indian cuisine, the soul of Indo British food and the heritage remains of the British reigns. My dear friend Nancy agreed to share the deep rooted secrets of Anglo Indian cuisines and feed me too . Starting off with a sinful chocoloate Cake with a creamy ganache .
INGREDIENTS:
100ml sunflower oil, plus extra for pan
175g caster sugar
140g plain flour
3 tbsp cocoa
3 tsp baking powder
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
chocolate sprinkles, to serve
For the chocolate ganache
100g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
5 tbsp double cream
METHOD :
Grease a 22cm silicone microwaveable cake pan with a little oil and place a circle of baking parchment in the bottom.
Mix sugar, flour, cocoa and baking powder in a bowl. In a jug, whisk the oil, eggs, vanilla and 100ml hot water until combined.
Add liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until you have a lump-free batter. Pour mixture into the cake pan and gently tap to pop any air bubbles. Cover with cling film.
Microwave on Full power (800 watts) for 7 mins. Remove and check if the cake is cooked by poking a skewer into the middle: if it comes out clean it is ready. Allow cake to stand for 5 mins, then remove cling film and turn out onto a cooling rack.
For the ganache, melt the chocolate on Half power (600 watts) for approximately 2 mins, stirring every 30 secs until melted. Add the cream and mix thoroughly until smooth and glossy.
Once the cake is cool, spread over the ganache and scatter with the sprinkles. The cake will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Bon Apettit..
