Assalamu Alaikum Everyone.

There are times in life, which are sometimes good and sometimes bad. And we humans are always eager to celebrate the good times. We, humans, love to celebrate the good times very nicely. And in good times, it is not without a sweet face. Then we all prefer the cake.

My favorite cake is "Chocolate Cake & Blackforest Cake".

The cake is one food that makes me want to eat it as soon as I see it. Others don't dislike cake either, I guess. The cake is no substitute for celebrating someone's birthday, wedding anniversary, class party, office party, or any other good get-together. Our beloved @steem4bangladesh has given us all an amazing presentation of this beautiful and delicious dish. But I could not participate.

I didn't know the exact time @steem4bangladesh would create it. I am thankful for this wonderful platform.

I had a lot of desire to participate in this engagement. So I went out in the scorching heat with Anisha Mamuni to buy cake-making tools and materials. But, sadly, I couldn't post at the right time due to everything around me for some of the reasons. 😔😔😔

For a while I thought I had nothing to lose. Little life will pass with time.

Procedure:

The procedure of making the cake is almost the same for all. But I make my cake at home. So I will try to present it that way. In-Sha-Allah!

First of all, I broke 2 eggs and separated the white part, and kept the yolks in separate containers. Then I beat the egg whites with a hand beater. Beat until white foam is formed.

After the white foam is formed, beat two egg yolks slowly and mix them with a hand beater.

The danger was when I added sugar to the egg foam. As soon as I took the hand beater with sugar, the electricity went off. Because many storms started raining. I was upset. I could not finish this work for some time. Later I stood on the balcony feeling sad and watched the rain.

I was watching the rain and trying to take some pictures. There was so much wind, storm, rain, and lightning that was beyond words. Electricity came after about 2-2.30 hours. After the electricity came I started working again. I mean, I concentrated on making the cake.

My electricity went out in the middle of mixing the mix. So 10 minutes of work was more than 2 hours late for me. 😔 Even if the electricity went off after it was completely beaten, my cake would have been ready by then. Hee hee hee! I was thinking a lot. 😅 Anyway! I took it bit by bit after the electricity came on.

Then I beat it with sugar to taste, which I estimate is about 2-1/2 cups of sugar. After adding sugar and beating it well, I added 1 cup and half a cup of soybean oil and beat it again for 30-40 seconds.

Since I will be making chocolate cake, I have to give chocolate essence.

But I forgot to add oil before beating it. 😅😅😅 As soon as I felt like it, I added bits of chocolate essence to the mixture. As soon as I felt like it, I added bits of chocolate essence to the mixture. Beat in such a way that the mixture does not come together immediately when you pick up the mixer hook of the spoon or hand beater.

Then I put a sieve in a separate bowl and sifted 1 cup and 1/2 cup of flour, 1 and a half spoons of baking soda, 1 and a half spoons of baking powder, 1 cup of cocoa powder, and salt to taste.

Then I spooned this powder mixture into the beaten mixture in a hand beater and mixed it well. Finally, I added the chocolate essence and mixed the chocolate cake batter well.

Before pouring the batter into the cake mold, I brush the oil with baking paper. Oil brush must only be done on the bottom of the mold. It is better not to brush oil on the side part. I forgot to take pictures of these works. ha ha ha...

I baked the cake in a gas oven. So I put a large pan on the stove and heat it for about 5-10 minutes. After heating, I fried 3-4 clean white papers and placed a stand on them. I set the cake batter by shaking it in the cake mold and placing it neatly inside the large pan on the stand holding the mold. These photos were not taken.

Later I covered it with a lid. I tried to cook the cake on very low heat. So that it does not remain raw inside. Thus I took 45 to 1 hour to bake the cake in the oven. I took it entirely to myself.

Later I saw that it took 1 hour and 10 minutes. After the cake was well baked I turned off the oven and kept the cake out of the oven for some time to cool. Meanwhile, I took out the whipped cream from the deep side of the fridge. Remove the whipped cream from the cake 15-20 minutes before use. After the whipped cream cooled, I whipped it into foam bit by bit with the beater.

By then the cake has cooled. After it cooled, I cut the cake down the middle with a knife and cut it into three pieces.

Then I set the tray with whipped cream one after the other. After setting with the whipped cream I made the decoration cream on the top of the cake to add a little design.

I was finally able to make my cake.
Everyone loved the cake I made. My princess especially liked it, Alhamdulillah!

My favorite chocolate cake is home made but I order black forest cake from outside. Since I love black forest cake so much, but have never made it at home. Because cherry is one of the main ingredients of black forest cake for flavor. I don't know why I don't like working with cherries. So I bought this cake from the cake shop. And currently, the most preferred is the black forest cake of "Azwah". Previously I have always bought from "Mr. Baker". But sometimes they gave me stale cake. So I don't buy as many cakes from there now as I used to.

The cake is one dessert that no one can dislike. This is purely my opinion. Many people do not like or eat certain desserts among other sweet foods. But cake is made of ingredients that most people don't think would be harmful to health if eaten in moderation. A lot of delicious food that looks tempting and is bound to grab everyone's attention. So the cake is a very favorite and popular dessert for everyone.

Finally, I would like to give special thanks to our dear @ripon0630 brother. Because brother always encourages us all to work. No matter what the situation is, always have the courage to move forward through work. A big thank you, bro.
