Boost Cake

I got my hands into a very simple cake making, that can be prepared in less than 20 mins flat. Its the Boost Cake as I call it now   I am sure any lovers of chocolate will love this dish to bits and its just a matter of 15-20mins before you can feel the gooeyness of the chocolate satisfying your taste buds. I was badly feeling like having a dessert after Sunday lunch and this cake was just perfect. The highlight of this cake is – it uses neither flour nor oil/butter nor eggs. Did I not mention its a chocolate goodness that is almost fat free?  Before I can brag further, here is the recipe!

Boost Cake:

Ingredients:

• Chocolate cream biscuits powdered- 1 cup (I used Dark Fantasy biscuits with praline cream filling)
• Marie biscuits powdered – 1 cup
• Boost (or any chocolate health drink/cocoa powder) – 2-3 tbsp
• Milk (I used low fat) – 1 cup or add more if required
• Baking Powder – 1.5 tsp

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven at 180°C for 10-15 mins.
2. Take a mixing bowl and add the powdered chocolate cream biscuits, marie biscuits, baking powder and boost. Mix it thoroughly.
3. Slowly add the milk (cold) and beat the mixture for 1 minute. The cake batter should be of the pourable consistency. Adjust the consistency by adding more or less milk.
4. I found the sweetness of the cake just right for me. If you find it less sweet, you can add sugar (powdered) too.
5. Line the baking dish with butter paper/parchment sheet. Its important for this cake to have lined as it might stick to the baking dish.
6. Pour the prepared batter into the baking dish and bake it for 20 mins at 180°C.
7. Check if the cake is cooked by inserting a knife or tooth pick in the center. Let it stay in the oven for 5 more mins before taking it out.
8. Let it cool for 10 mins before inverting it out and cutting it.

This cake tastes the best warm – its more like a cake that tastes like pudding. Goes really well with Vanilla ice cream. Makes up a quick dessert that beats any store brought choco brownie. Next time I am going to add some chopped almonds just to enhance the texture . But believe me, it was best as it is  I am sure, this cake can be safely prepared in microwave too. Go ahead and give yourself this treat soon! 

PS – I am sure the cake stays for at least 2 days as I left the cake outside for 2 days and it tasted the same. We only reheated the cake in the microwave  just before having it
