- pour batter into pan, batter will seem runnier than normal cake batters but its fine.
- cake will take 40-50 min to cook depending on ur oven, when u find that the center is set test using a toothpick inserted in the middle, it should come out a tiny bit gooey not completely dry as the cake continues cooking while cooling.
- cool cake in tin on a wire rack then take out b4 its completely cooled, as soon as u feel u can handle it. if it stays too long in the tin it will be too sticky to take out.

- frost ur cake when it has completely cooled.
- you can discard the complicated frosting and just serve with warm chocolate sauce and icecream.
