Wish you all a Merry Christmas and very Happy New Year!
This is a simple eggless sponge cake with flaky chocolate icing. I always feel like baking during Christmas and New Year time.
Time Required: 1 Hour
Ingredients:
3 Cups Flour/Maida
1½ Cups of Water
2 Cups of Sugar
3/4 Cup of Unsalted Butter
2 Cup Yogurt/Curd
2½ tsp Baking Soda
1tsp Cooking Soda
2tsp Vanilla Essence
For the Icing:
4tbsp Butter
2tbsp Cocoa Powder or 4 one inch size cooking chocolate
2tbsp Milk
½ Cup Icing Sugar
Method:
Sieve flour with Baking Soda and Cooking Soda. Melt butter and add to the flour. Add the other ingredients and fold in. Grease a baking tray and pour the mixture into it. Pre-heat the oven and bake at 180 degrees for 40 minutes.
Remove the cake and allow it to cool.
For the Icing:
Soften Butter and mix all the ingredients to a smooth paste. As we are having a flaky chocolate icing, do not add too much of milk. Spread this on the top of the cake and on the sides.
I have spread it only on the top of the cake.
Grate some nutty chocolate over the icing. Cut into pieces and serve.

Hey Santosh and Apu,
If you want softer icing, add more butter.
