Happy Monday, You Guys 😊

I have a lot of things to do today. There's a room in my basement that I have to start clearing out the boxes as my oldest wants to move downstairs, my youngest will move to his current room, while my husband is going to move his home office to my youngest's 😁

Just the thought of it tires me, though!

So let's just share this super simple cake recipe 😍

Cake

3 c strong baker's flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
2 1/4 tsp double acting BP
1 1/4 c sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
3 /4 c peanut oil
1 c milk

Pudding Layer

90 g (1 large box)
Milk

Chocolate Glaze

3/4 c dark chocolate chips
3/4 c semi sweet chocolate chips
250 ml heavy whipping cream

In a bowl, mix dry ingredients, set aside

Cream eggs, essence and sugar until pale and fluffy

Add in some of the flour mixture, followed with oil and milk, then add in flour mixture again, followed with oil and milk, then lastly flour mixture again

Bake on preheated 350 F for 45-55 mins

Take out from the oven, flip the cake pan, peel off the parchment

Poke holes (with a spatula's end is perfect) and let cool to room temperature

Once cake is cooled, let's make the pudding layer, by following the instructions on the box. The measurement of the milk will be on the box as well

Let stand for 2-3 mins, spread pudding on top of cake, chill overnight if not at least 2-3 H
