Ingredients

All-purpose flour / maida – 2 cups
Sugar – 3/4 cups (1 cup if you are not using frosting)
Cocoa powder – 1/2 cup  (you can decrease the quantity if you want)
Vegetable oil/ Olive oil  – 1/2 cup (i used cooking olive oil)
Water – 1 cup
Milk – 1/2 cup  (at room temperature)
Baking powder – 1 tsp
Baking Soda – 1/2 tsp
Lemon juice – 1 tsp
Vanilla essence / extract – 1 tsp
Salt – a pinch

Method

  •  Pre-heat the oven at 350 F (180 C )
  • Grease a cake pan with some butter or ghee and dust some flour in the pan . This works best and avoids sticking of cake in the pan.
  •  In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
  •  Add sugar and mix together. 
  •  Next, add oil, water, milk and vanilla and mix thoroughly, Mixing the batter in one direction. 
  • At last mix in lemon juice and mix till they are combined . Do not over mix them.
  •  Pour into greased cake pan and bake in a pre-heated oven for about 45 mins or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. 
  • Cool them completely on a wire rack and frost them with butter cream frosting 
  • I decorated my cake with fresh strawberries, rasberries and sprinklers :). I also drizzled some chocolate sauce on each slice while serving.
Tips


  • You can decorate these cake as you wish i decorated mine with berries.
  • You can also use this cake vegan by adding almond milk or soy milk instead of whole milk.
  • I found that making cakes with oil makes them stay longer than 1 one day .
  • Store the cake in an air tight container you an refrigerator or keep them at room temperature . It tastes fresh the next day too.
  • After transferring the batter in the cake pan do not let is stand bake them ASAP.
