Cakes - You can not throw a party without them. Be it a birthday party or bridal shower or baby shower or anniversaries there will be cakes. Why go to special days, even your weekend parties won't be complete if you do not have cakes. When it comes to cakes, no one can say 'No' to chocolate cakes. why cakes? Anything with chocolates can't be ignored, at least it is like that for me.

There are a different ways of baking a chocolate cake- With eggs, without eggs, the vegan way. But I am going to share a very very simple way of preparing cakes with eggs. I will be posting a recipe for chocolate cake without eggs soon. Once you have mastered the art of baking, you can do magic with your oven.

Before sharing the recipe of simple chocolate cake, I want to share this crazy experience of mine. Its been over a month that I had bookmarked DK's Zebra cake. I wanted to try that cake. But, being an amateur, I did not want to take risk. Baking an ordinary cake itself is a great accomplishment for me. But,I was lured into making that cake. With a lot of confidence I headed to my kitchen and started preparing the dough for zebra cake. In that process, there is a phase where you have to separate the dough equally so that you can add coco powder in one to get zebra stripes. But, I made an amateur mistake. The dough I separated for mixing coco powder was more. So when I was putting the dough in layers, it messed up. But, I ended up in this simple chocolate cake which had a great taste and looked inviting. I would suggest all out there to bake! bake! bake! as you will end up in new recipes as I did which will do wonders at home.
