A person who doesn’t love Chocolate can’t be my friend (Just kidding). But seriously, can anyone not love chocolate? Everyone n my family loves it, in fact my sister is crazy about it, crazy more than me.
I being a food blogger, have the convenience of preparing things like this and call it work. But still, I am the one who gets to eat it and I love that.
So, here is my recipes of Chocolate cake which I have tried to keep simple. It should take less than an hour to prepare it but will be totally worth it when members of your family smile at you saying you are the best. :-).
