Chocolate Cake

Use whole wheat flour (not maida) -

Take 2 teacups of flour,
Mix it with 5 spoons of cocoa powder and 1 spoon baking powder and keep aside.
Take a hard anodized cookware and heat it. Remove from the stove in a minute.
Drop a 100gm butter into the cookware and immediately add one cup of sugar and stir.
Add 5 eggs to the mixture of butter and sugar and stir.
Add 4 drops of vanilla essence.

Slowly add the flour mix to the butter mix.

Take a baking pan, smear it with ghee and lace it with butter paper (parchment paper). The butter paper should be bigger than the pan.
Pour the cake mix in it and cook.*

Optional:
1) You can add coffee powder, about 4 gms, to the flour mix;
2) You can add nuts (walnuts taste best with coffee);
3) You can add pieces of chocolate or coffee flavoured biscuits (not cream-biscuits)

*Cooking depends on the kind of oven or stove you are using. For cooking instructions it is best to follow the oven's user manual.
