Ingredients
  • -----For Cake-----
  • Butter - 250g
  • Plain flour - 200g
  • Sugar - 250g
  • Egg - 5
  • Cocoa powder - 50g
  • Baking powder - 2 ½ teaspoons

  • -----For Toppings-----
  • Roasted cashew nuts - 50g

Instructions
  1. Get ready with butter, plain flour, sugar, eggs, cocoa powder, baking powder, and vanilla extract.
  2. Chop the roasted cashew nuts.
  3. Sift the plain flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder together to remove any clumps.
  4. Separate the egg yolk and egg white.
  5. Using an electric mixer beat egg white until stiff peaks form.
  6. Beat butter and sugar until fluffy and light in color. For me, it takes about 10 minutes.
  7. Now add the egg yolk one by one. Beat well after each egg yolk.
  8. Then add the beaten egg white little by little. Beat well after each addition.
  9. Now add the sifted flour mix. Don’t beat, but mix them well until all combined. (Beat in a slow speed mode for one or two minutes if needed)
  10. Finally, add the vanilla extract and beat in a slow-speed mode for one minute.
  11. Now, put the parchment paper on the cake tray. Pour the cake batter and spread it evenly.
  12. Preheat the oven for 5 minutes. Place the cake tray inside the oven and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes. Once done, take out the cake tray from the oven and let the cake cools down to room temperature.
  13. Now, take a bowl and add icing sugar, butter, cocoa powder, and a tablespoon of water.
  14. Using a spoon mix them well until totally combined.
  15. Now flip the cake to another tray and take out the parchment paper. Apply the topping cream and spread evenly.
  16. Finally, sprinkle the chopped cashew nuts on top of the cream.
  17. This is how to make the best moist chocolate cake recipe at home. Serve and enjoy this easy chocolate cake with delicious toppings.
Notes
1. Use good quality butter.
2. Always beat or mix the batter in the same direction.
3. After adding the plain flour, don’t beat or mix the batter for long.
4. Don’t wait for so long to put the cake tray into the oven after you make the cake batter.
5. When you bake the cake set the oven to convection mode.
6. If you are not sure whether the cake is ready or not, insert a stick inside the cake and take it out. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
7. Wait until the cake comes to room temperature before flipping it on a flat surface and apply the icing topping cream.
