♥ Valentine Cake Hearts ♥

I think I am the only person in blogland who hasn't made a Valentine post yet.

So here it is...



This is actually a chocolate walnut cake that I baked about 10 days or so ago but did't have the time to post it. The receipe is originally a chocolate cake recipe to which I added a handful of walnuts (that was all I had at home) to make this delicious choco-walnut cake.

This pretty flower is from my balcony garden. I am really not lucky when it comes to gardening. So this flower makes me so happy. Ah! But I should admit that the plant already had the bud in it when I planted it in the pot and it was ready to bloom :)))

The recipe for the cake is super easy and you can try it out.

Ingredients

All purpose flour - 1 1/4 cups

Cocoa powder - 2 tbsp

Baking powder - 2 tsp

Sugar - 1 cup

Milk - 1/2 cup

Cooking oil - 1/2 cup

Eggs - 2 

Vanilla - a few drops (optional)

Sieve the dry ingredients (Flour, cocoa and baking powder).

I always powder my sugar after measuring it so that it dissolves quickly. 

Blend together the oil, milk, eggs and vanilla using an electric blender.

Add sugar and the sieved dry ingredients. Blend everything together until combined.

Pour into your greased and seasoned cake pans and bake. The ideal temperature setting for my oven is 150 degree C. I bake for 40 mins or until done.

Oops! I forgot the walnuts. Add 1/4 cup of chopped and roasted walnuts at the end and fold them into the dough. I didn't have 1/4 cup. It was a little less than that.

I ♥ed the crunchy, nutty taste in my chocolate cake. Hmm... the thought makes me drool.

I have to thank all of you for all the lovely comments you leave here. Also, I have to mention the awards that you give me. Awards are really nice and they make you feel elated, wanted, important, humbled, etc., but they also make me feel uncomforable. So I don't accept awards. Everytime someone has left an award for me I feel really bad refusing to accept it. I hope you will understand. The comments that you leave here appreciating my work mean a thousand times more to me than an award. So instead of awards leave comments and more comments. That would make me really happy.

♥ ♥ ♥ Thanks and have a nice day ♥ ♥ ♥
