Bake with me: Chocolate cake!

Goooooooooooood evening everyone and welcome to my blog!!
How y'all doing?
Wondering what I got for y'all today?

Well, as stated in my bio, I am a lover of food (the really sweet ones though) and today for the first time ever, I tried out baking a chocolate cake.

Here's a picture of a slice of it (I think it's not as moist as it should be, but hey, it's my first!)

After baking, I decided that sharing my recipe here on steemit would be really nice, hence this post. So, below is the recipe I used for making this cake.

Ingredients

• 50g baking chocolate
• 590g flour
• 6 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 4 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoon baking soda
• 450g Butter
• 450 Sugar
• 8 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla flavor
• 1/2 teaspoon coffee flavor
• 1 satchet Milk flavor
• 1 cup butter milk
• 1 cup boiling water

procedure

• prepare your Butter milk and set aside (this is done by thoroughly mixing evaporated milk with lemon. I used 190g of milk to 2 small lemons)

• Break up baking chocolates in a bowl, add cocoa powder and 1 cup of boiling water, then mix and set aside.

• Sieve together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and set aside.

• Beat eggs until foamy and set aside.

• Cream Butter and Sugar and then fold in the beaten Eggs.

• Fold in the Cocoa + chocolate mix, vanilla, coffee and milk flavours.

• Fold in alternatively, in parts, the sieved flour mixture and butter milk.

• Butter up your Baking pan and pour in your cake mixture

• Put in a preheat oven and bake till a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.

• please note that a time lag of about 40 mins should be allowed before opening the oven door. This is so that, the cake would not fall.

And we are done!

The cake came out really nice tasting, but not so moist as I earlier stated. I do not have an idea what could be the cause of that. Suggestions anyone?

Ps: Comments and suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thank you for reading!
