No oven chocolate cake...

Cold monday morning my read.cash family. As for my 5th article my brain seems empty now. I didn't know what to write, my mind was floating. I think my strength and intelligence were exhausted because of a one week exams. Guess what subject it is that make my brain empty. Your guess is right it is MATHEMATICS, this subject really deplete my energy. It looks like my brain got drained so much, like a cellphone when it is off the battery is empty and drained.

I do not know where to start and what is my content for tonight. Maybe, what will I share is the chocolate cake that mama cooked. We actually cook and sell Filipino Native Delicacies good for snacks such as puto cheese, puto pao (with ground pork inside), ube turon malagkit with cheese (malagkit is glutinous rice), puto flan (there is a leche flan on top), puto pizza and many more.

Mama tried to bake just recently out of curiosity and she challenge herself if she can do it. Eventhough we don't have an oven at home she managed to baked, like pizza (made of sliced bread), chocolate chips cookies, chocolate crinkles and of course chocolate cake.

What I am going to write tonight is mama's homemade chocolate cake. It is so easy to do and your kids can even help you just like me and my siblings we help out mother. It is also a way for the family to bond. I will give the ingredients and baking procedure.

HERE IS THE INGREDIENTS FOR THE BATTER:

2 cups all purpose flour

3/4 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. iodized salt

2 cups brown sugar

1/2 cup corn oil/olive oil/vegetable oil/cooking oil

1 cup fresh milk/evaporated milk

1 cup room temperature water

CHOCOLATE FROSTING:

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 cup fresh milk/evaporated milk

1/2 cup white sugar

1 tbsp. butter/margarine

2 tsp. all purpose flour/cornstarch (if you want it thick you add more)

1 tsp. vanilla extract

a pinch of salt

PROCEDURES:

FIRST: Combine all the dry ingredients first, don't forget to sift all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder and salt set aside first. After the dry next is the wet ingredients and then put the dry ingredients/ Mix thoroughly until no more lumps. While mixing preheat your improvised oven about 10minutes under low-medium heat. And since we don’t have an oven and baking pans for baking cakes all our utensils are purely improvised.

SECOND: Here is the one I mixed and put in my improvised baking pan. My improvised baking is the one on top of the rice cooker, the steamer one. I just fitted it with aluminum foil. I make two of this.

THIRD: It's time to put on my improvised oven. The I used an old frying pan that isn't really used for cooking anymore. I just preheated it before I put my cake mixture. Cook the cake for 35-40 minutes, make a toothpick test when it comes clean it is already done. Take it out and let it cool.

This is the first layer and I put chocolate sauce as a filling. The other layer is still cooking. In cooking the chocolate sauce, combine all the ingredients on a pot or frying pan make sure to mix it well (except for the butter/margarine). After mixing put it on the fire cook it on low heat only keep stirring to avoid lumps. Find the right consistency you want. When you found the right thickening of the sauce turn if off and put the butter/margarine (it will make your chocolate sauce glossy) keep on stirring.

And this is the finished product I put candy sprinkles on top because that is the only available. I am sorry and there is already a slice since my younger sister is already asking she wants to eat. Me and my siblings love it so much. Right now if we want to eat cake and there is available ingredients my mother make it right away.

See how fast and easy it is to make a cake. For those who want to make a cake and you don't have an oven and baking pans I hope this will a BIG help. There is a lot to SAVE here especially on our situation right now money is very tight. The advantage also is if you want to eat cake even there is no occasion YOU CAN.

So this is were my article end..... All the images I used is mine.

Thank you readers, my upvoters and to my first sponsor @Olasquare. Hopefully this article of mine will help people out there who love to bake a cake for their family but they are afraid because they don't have the proper equipments. This is for you guyz.

Love lotz,
