small twinkle things: an eggless chocolate cake

few days ago i really wanted to make (eat) a chocolate cake
but when I opened the fridge, i ran out of eggs. dang!
so i ended up googling and found an eggless chocolate cake recipe
waittt. a cake without eggs? oh well.
but to satisfy my sweet tooth, i finally tried to make it.
surprisingly it turned out very tasty!
sweetness from the condensed milk is very fitting combined with dark chocolate.
i made mine into 2 pieces of cake with a very small size tins.
i also made butter frosting for the cake and topped it with some (a lot) of sprinkles
so it looked like a "real cake".
here it is!

not bad for an eggless cake isn't it? :))
i'm glad that my hubby liked it too.
and Shofi. yes she looks like the most happiest little girl on earth when she saw the sprinkles.
she didn't even want to wait until i was done taking pictures.

Eggless Chocolate Cake
recipe source: Chef In You

Ingrediens:
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 cup plain flour (maida)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon soda bi-carbonate
1/2 can (400 grams for full can) condensed milk
1/2 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Method:
- sift the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and soda bi-carbonate.
- combine all the ingredients together with 1/2 cup (100 ml) of water in a bowl and mix well using a whisk.
- pour this mixture into a greased 150 mm. (6") diameter baking tin after greasing it.
- bake in a pre-heated oven at 180°C (360°F) for 20 minutes or till a knife inserted into the cake comes out clean.
- unmould and cool on a wire rack.

anyway, my husband bought me one set of watercolor some time ago and i drew this while waiting for the cake in the oven. so i guess it's okay to put it together in this picture :p
