How to Make Celebration Chocolate Cake

• In a bowl, sift together maida, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cocoa powder at least twice to ensure even spreading. Then add sugar and mix well.
• In a separate bowl, beat eggs till fluffy, add milk, oil, boiling water and vanilla essence and beat well using a whisk or electric mixer.
• Now add the maida-cocoa mixture in parts to the egg-milk mixture and mix well, making sure no lumps are formed. The batter will be a little runny.
• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Grease and flour the baking pan, pour the batter and bake at 180 degrees C for 30-35 minutes. Check if a fork inserted comes out clean, then your cake is done.
• Cool on wire rack for 15 minutes and then slice it into pieces. Serve as it is or after frosting.
