Chocolate Cake

Cakes have always been my all time fav.My mom makes them very nicely even in a pressure cooker.Until my marriage I never entered kitchen[never got time:)] So I dint bother to learn it from her.Now that I spend half of my day in kitchen and have an oven I wanted to prepare it.I called her and had noted the recipe long back and prepared it.No wonder it came up to be a utter flop...We could eat it but not like cake but as a biscuit/rusk.Then I just left the plan of making it...
          After long I again felt to make it.This time I was more careful and finally I got a quality product...A very soft and spongy cake....Finally I did it..
Dear friends I wont be writing any tips for this as it is my first successful attempt.Next time when I prepare cake I would write the tips because I would start experimenting then :).
