The process of making a chocolate cake

• Take the baking pan and smear butter with a brush, inside it. Now dust some flour on this and remove excess. Let the baking pan settle.
• Now take a bowl and sieve the baking flour in it. Make sure there are no lumps of flour. It should be smooth and fine.
• Now add cocoa powder and sugar alternatively in the flour. Start adding butter cream. Blend the mix steadily and with gentle hands. Keep blending it until you have a bubble free, smooth mix of chocolate flour. Use a spatula to check for lumps.  Keep this mix aside.
• Now take butter and sugar in a bowl and start whisking it. Keep adding butter and sugar alternatively and keep whisking until you get a fluffy mix. Keep it aside once done.
• Now take butter cream in a bowl and add the blocks of chocolate in it. Put it in the microwave for 2- 3 minutes. Once you remove it you will get a melted mix of chocolate and butter cream. Add honey to this mix and mix it well. Make sure it’s a thick mix and not very loose.  Set it aside to cool. Do not refrigerate.
• Now add the butter and sugar mix to the chocolate-flour mix. Sprinkle one or two pinches of salt to it.  Add the baking soda. Now mix all this together.
• Once the mixing is done pour the mix in the baking pan smeared with butter and flour. Divide the mix in the two baking pans. Shake the pans and tap them lightly on the table to let the mix set well. Flatten it with a spatula.
• Now set the oven on 375 F and shove the baking pan inside for next 45 minutes to an hour. As the cake rises, pierce it with a knife and check if it is done. If your knife comes out clean then the cake is done. Avoid over baking.
• Now remove the baking pans and let them cool. Dip your knife or spatula in butter and run it around the edges of the pan to free the cake off the pan.
• Now turn the cakes over on a sheet of butter paper. Let them cool down. You do not want crumbs falling off when you frost it.
• After twenty to thirty minutes get the chocolate and honey mix you prepared and start frosting the cake. Put the frosting in the centre and keep moving it on the sides as you flatten it with a spatula.
• Now put this frosted cake on a cardboard covered with foil paper. Now keep the next cake on it and frost it similarly. Also apply frosting on the sides with the spatula. Flatten the frosting with parchment paper to give the cake an even look.
• If you want to give you cake a fun look then tap the spatula lightly on the frosting and pull it upwards. It will create spikes on the cake.
• Now take a chocolate bar and scrape it. Sprinkle the shavings on the cake.

Your chocolate cake is ready to serve and eat. Wasn’t this easy? Make your chocolate cake with a lot of love and you will surely create a masterpiece. Enjoy!
