Happy Birthday 4th Sense Cooking :)

Photobucket

This little space of mine has turned three :) The journey has been simply fantastic and fascinating.

I identified my passion for food and photography through this blog and have felt it growing along with this blog for the past three years. It has literally been a travel of a novice cook and photographer growing and working hard to become a pro one day. There were days when hardly a person would visit my space to days now where loads of people visit and appreciate my work :)

Blogging and blog hopping has never turned boring in these three years. The journey has made it all the more interesting and inquisitive for me to learn more of new dishes :)

Having loads of awesome bloggers around makes inspiration part very simple. Thank you buddies for making and posting fantastic dishes and inspiring little ones like me. :)

Thank you so much to all my visitors who come back again to see my updates. Your support matters a lot to me :)

I made this chocolate mousse cake for my blog's birthday. I have made this cake before but made changes this time with the base chocolate cake.


I made an eggless and butterless chocolate cake base for this recipe with simple ingredients.

Ingredients:

Maida - 6 tblsp
Cocoa powder - 3 tblsp
Powdered Sugar - 8 tblsp
Cooking soda - 1/2 tsp
Milk - 8tblsp
Oil - 6 tblsp

Method:

Sieve Maida, Cocoa powder, powdered sugar and cooking soda together in a mixing bowl.

Add milk and oil to it and beat well.

Grease and dust the baking pan and transfer the cake batter to it.

Preheat oven to 375°F or 190°C and bake the cake for 25 - 30 mins.

Let the cake cool on wire rack for a while before you can prepare the mousse according to the recipe here and complete the mousse cake.

I chose to make only the dark chocolate mousse layer this time and decorated it with a bed of chocolate vermicelli and butterscotch nuts for the number. :)
