Chocolate Mountain Cake

I made this for my hubby's bday..Here goes the recipe..

You Need
2 cups sugar
1 3/4th cup all purpose flour
3/4th cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup milk
1 cup boiling water
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp salt
1 packets M&Ms
1 bar Hershey's chocolate

Mix sugar,all purpose flour,cocoa powder,baking powder,baking soda,salt.
Beat eggs with vanilla extract.
Put the dry mix, eggs, veg oil, milk, boiling water in a blender and blend for 5 mins.
The mixture will be flowy liquid.
Now grease 4 microwaveable boxes of reducing shape to form steps.
Place the mix in all the boxes so that each oh them would come out to be of equal height.
Microwave the largest box for 5 mins. And then reduced a minute for each box.
Take care that you dont microwave longer than required...else cake would dry out. Insert a butter knife and check that it comes out clean.That is an indication that it is done.
Once done, allow them to cool for 15 mins.
Invert each of them.
Now place the largest base cake and apply frosting(recipe down the line) to cover the area of the smaller step.
Repeat the above process till you reach the tip of the mountain.
Decorate with M&M's as you like.
Now grate the Hershey choc bar and place the choco chips around the cake. Believe me, this adds a great taste.


For the Frosting
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup cocoa
3 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

Melt butter. Stir in cocoa
Add sugar,milk and vanilla.
Blend or beat on medium speed.



My Tip - Add a tsp coffee to the frosting. This would give a great coffee flavour.
