The occasion was a cousin's birthday celebration.

I have never baked before, though I've seen the process very closely and very often since the lockdown! I did not even believe that I could, I just hoped that it should not turn into a complete blunder.

A baker would say what an easy cake to make. Well I must agree that it was comparatively easy, because it did not involve making a frosting and all that hard work.

Starting off real simple I used a premix! Greased the mold really well and even used a butter paper so that the cake came out as one piece. 

HERE ARE THE STEPS:

1. Mix the batter to a thick but flowy. Add water bit by bit. Once the batter is pored in the mold tap it to get rid of any bubbles.
2. Then I had a set up of the most Indian oven a kadhaie. Put some salt or sand and heat it on a stove.
3. Then I put the mold in the kadhaie and covered it to seal the hot waves inside to create a oven kind of situation.
4. Within 30-35 minutes the cake was properly backed. To check it's status I poked a knife in the cake which is supposed to come out clean if the cake is done.
5. To make sure the cake came out as whole, I let it cool of half an hour while it was covered with a cloth so that the top does not dry out.
6. Mean while, I made the sugar syrup using equal amount of sugar and water and heating it only until the sugar had completely melted.
7. Now it was time for the ganache! First I chopped the chocolate compound [200gm] and put it in a bowl. Then kept the bowl on a set up with boiling water at the bottom. 
8. Keep on steering the compound until it is liquid. On other side heat 250ml of Amul Fresh Cream until it just starts to bubble. Then mix both ingredients.
9. To have a thick consistency refrigerate the ganache.
10. Cut the cake in layers, spray the sugar syrup, and when it is socked you can spread the ganache.
11. Lastly decorate the cake as you wish and let it set in the refrigerator.

That is how easy it was. I made a cake for the first time in my life and it turned out to be very testy. 

Even you can give it a try!
