Easy Rich Chocolate Cake.

Chocolate cakes can easily add up as a Dessert at the end of a hearty meal. Gone are the days when cakes were a hassle to make, particularly separating the eggs from the yolks and whisking to make foams. This chocolate cake is very easy to make, puts away your electric whisk or your processor and top of it all you need is a bowl and a wooden spoon to make the cake batter. It’s a very moist rich cake goes very well with fruits, chocolate sauce, whipped cream and even ice-creams. You can always serve it as it is with some dusted icing sugar on top. Dusting icing sugar on top will definitely make your cake look more tempting but overdoing it sometimes overpowers the flavor of your chocolate cake and finally you may end up having a mouthful of icing sugar. This is a very moist slightly dense cake could always be made ahead and keeps well for almost three days.
