First, the Ingredients
- All purpose Flour

Secondly, Preparation
- Sieve the flour making sure there are no lumps.
- In a bowl make a mixture of the first four ingredients according to quantity (For Eg: For 1 cup all purpose Flour , Take 1/4 cup of chocolate powder , I/2 cup powdered sugar & a quarter table spoon of baking powder)
- Pour some milk into the mixture (according to consistency ) and form a batter. Remove the lumps from the batter. The batter should be of medium consistency.
- Take a cake pan and grease it with butter. You can also place a butter paper at the bottom to avoid sticking.
- Pour the batter into the cake Pan. Pat the pan a little if there is air incorporated into the batter and then place it in the oven.
- Set a timer and bake it for 40 Minutes. ( I have an oven which adjusts the heat automatically for baking cakes. Else you can preheat oven to 350 degrees F ( 175 degrees C).
- Remove the cake pan from the oven after 40 minutes .
- Insert a toothpick. If the toothpick inserted comes out clean your cake is well baked.
- Allow it to cool.
- Once cooled, transfer the cake to a plate.
- Add a generous amount of chocolate syrup (thick) on top of the cake according to your taste and spread it evenly.
