Hello Cake lovers. I sincerely apologize for not posting anything yesterday. I slept my evening away. Was too tired because I had an exam yesterday. So to make-up for yesterday, I'm posting two recipes. Is someone excited? Me too. Before I start, Every Friday is my general post day. I'm going to be as random as possible. Look out for the first random post next Friday. As you already know, Saturday is strictly for recipes. I hope you try out these recipes and give me feedback please. If you tried the coconut cake recipe, please let me know how it turned out for you.

VANILLA CAKE

 I'm going to cheat here and refer you to my coconut cake recipe. link here. For real though, a vanilla cake with that recipe is as good. I tried it and loved it. It had a fluffy texture and would go perfectly with any frosting.

 All you need to do is remove the unsweetened coconut and replace the coconut milk with normal milk. I use 2.8% fat content milk. Also increase the vanilla from 1tsp to 1tbsp. That's all!! Follow the remaining steps of the recipe religiously though. Don't alternate anything. If you want a small cake, just half the recipe.

CHOCOLATE ALMOND CAKE

INGREDIENTS

180g Ground Almond
85g Cake flour (not All purpose flour)
70g Cocoa Powder
8g Baking Powder
2g Salt
8 Eggs (SEPARATED)
1Tbsp Vanilla
300g Granulated Sugar
1tsp Almond extract
60ml Milk
100g Dark chocolate

STEPS

*Preheat oven to 180degrees C/350F/Gas mark 4. Grease the cake pan

*Melt your dark chocolate and let it cool

*Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder and ground almond together.

*In a big bowl, beat the eggyolks with 250g(1cup) of sugar. Let it turn pale. Add the vanilla and almond extracts. 

*Pour in the milk and the melted dark chocolate and mix for 1 minute.

*Pour in the dry mixture (step 3) gradually. Don't over mix. Just make sure it's well incorporated

*In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the remaining 50g(0.5cup) of sugar and whip till stiff peaks form.

*Carefully fold the egg whites into the cake batter.

*Pour batter into cake pan and bake for 40mins or until a skewer comes out clean.

*Let the cake cool in the pan for 15mins(It gives it a moist texture, but not too moist)

*Transfer to a cooling rack.

*You can frost it with my butter cream recipe link here or cream cheese frosting link here or eat it un-frosted. Your choice :) . Enjoy
