Recipe Summary in short

Beat two large eggs until smooth and keep them aside. Sieve in some dry ingredients like All-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt and keep aside. Into a large bowl take some warm milk and add sugar. Mix in the sugar nicely then add some oil, butter, and the beaten two eggs into it. Give it a mix. Then add the dry ingredients gradually into the wet ingredients and mix until smooth. Into this mixture then add some vanilla essence for flavor and some warm or hot water and give it a final mix. The batter looks easy to flow and runny. Pour the batter into a cake tin and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 to 45 minutes or until done.

For the Chocolate frosting, we need whipping cream. Into it add icing sugar and beat 2 minutes initially. Then add cocoa powder and beat until stiff peaks. Level up the top of the cake by cutting or shredding it out and then simply spread the frosting using a butter knife or an icing spatula and level up the frosting all around. Use colorful sprinkles to decorate.

Place a parchment paper into a cake tin nicely to avoid sticking just in case. Brush up the parchment paper with some oil or butter. Pour the batter and bake in a preheated oven for about 40 to 45 minutes. Large cracks appear on the top of the cake once baked. But still, make sure by inserting a skewer or a stick to check if it’s baked nicely or not. If the stick comes out clean then it’s completely done ✔️ and should be allowed to cool sometime and then demold the cake from the cake tin.
