So here is a simple and quick cup cakes, which I have baked quite some time back. This is not a latest bake, so I have only 2 pics to share with you all. Next time, I bake this choco chips cup cakes - I'll surely take step-by-step pics for you - I promise.

A Chocolate Cake with Bournville Dark Chocolate Ganache!

I am back with my favorite chocolate cake recipe - actually this is the only flavor for any type of dessert, which attracts me most. Since I am not a dessert-person, I prefer those which are less sugary or have little bit of bitterness as of dark chocolate. Chocolate is favorite among all generations - be it senior members of the family or the junior ones. So, baking a chocolate cake is the safest way to serve dessert for any family dinner party.

The most versatile thing about a chocolate cake is that no matter what icing or frosting you put to decorate the cake - even if it falls apart, the cake will be praised by everyone. You can keep the decoration part minimal or even no-icing - does it really matter! No - the universal flavor and taste of chocolate will be the ultimate winner.

My First Red Velvet Cake!

An attempt to a red velvet cake needs some confidence in baking. I am definitely not that confident in baking and I always believe that I've so many things to learn and practice. So, I was not at all sure whether this project will come out successful or not. Actually, I kept this one pending for quite a long time. As I have mentioned many times in my blog, that my daughters are my best source of inspiration. They would always encourage me to take the next plunge in my life - no matter whether it's the baking project or something more serious decision. So this time also, the same situation occurred. They just pushed me into baking a red velvet cake and I made it! Although the process is little elaborate and you will need a variety of ingredients - but the red velvetty texture of the cake and the melting-in-mouth taste will make your job less painful and you will be in heaven at your first bite of the cake. The appreciation you get, once you present it on the dining table - is absolutely priceless.
