CHOCO PINEAPPLE CAKE

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• All purpose floor/Maida : 1 and 1/2 cup
• Butter : 1 cup
• Sugar : 1 cup ( powdered ) 
• Egg : 4 small eggs/ 3 large
• Baking soda : 1tsp
• Cocoa powder : 4 tbsp
• Choco chips : 1/2 cup
• Coke : 2 tbsp

For Frosting:

• Fresh Heavy cream : 1 1/2 cup
• Powdered Sugar : 1/2 cup

Sugar syrup:

• Sugar: 1 cup
• Water: 1 cup

Others:

• Pineapple: 1 cup (chopped - small pieces)
• Grated Chocolate: 1 cup 

Method:

• Sieve together flour,Cocoa powder and baking powder and keep aside.
• Beat sugar in butter till it becomes a smooth paste.
• Beat egg in a separate bowl and strain it and then add it to the butter in small quantities,
• Then Add flour 1 tbsp at a time and keep on mixing till it becomes smooth paste.
• Add choco chips and mix it.
• Preheat oven to 325 F
• In a baking dish , grease the sides and bottom with butter and sprinkle flour over it.
• Add the cake mixture which we prepared into greased baking dish.
• Once the oven is preheated , place the cake in oven and bake it for about 40 mins( until tooth pick inserted at the center of cake comes out clean )
• If its not cooked keep it for some more time - 10 mins.
• Once the cake is ready, allow it to cool. Then cut it horizontally in to 3 or 4 slices/layers.

When the cake is in oven , let us prepare frosting.

• In a bowl take about 1 1/2 cup of heavy cream, add 1/2 cup sugar or more depending on how much sweet you need. I used half cup. It was sweet enough.
• Place the bowl over ice and then whip it continuously. The cream will thicken and you'l get nice frosting after about 5-10 mins. You can use electric machine for whipping cream.
• Place it in refrigerator to cool.

Now comes the decorating part:

• Place one layer of cake on a plate . Sprinkle about 2 tbsp of sugar syrup to the cake evenly. The cake looks moist and it becomes soft when you do this .
• Then add frosting over the cake and spread it evenly. Add grated chocolate over it. Then add chopped pineapple.
• After this place another slice of cake over this and follow the same instructions as we did for the first slice. 
• And after the place the 3rd layer. Sprinkle Sugar syrup
• as above and then add little thick layer of frosting and sprinkle grated chocolate. 
• Then decorate pineapple
• on top as you need.
• Chill it in refrigerator until you serve.

* I used fresh cream in the beginning. I was not able to prepare icing with that. It tasted bad too. Then i bought whipping cream powder, added water and prepared icing.So choose proper cream while preparing cake.

I usually use Heavy cream.
