Moist chocolate Cake


M M mmmmm..the taste does live up to the name - moist! The recipe made me 3 small alum. foil trays and I alone finisehd 3/4 of a tray..help, someone please hide it
.
My normal practice whenever baking a cake is reduce the qty. of sugar stated, but somehow for this one I followed to the T and the sweetness was balanced with the after taste of cocoa / coffee...simply perfect!!
.
Head over to Pusiva's for the recipe.

Recipe : Coconut Cardamom Burfi


Currently I'm hooked on the Food Safari. Have you watch any?
That was where I learned about this yummy Indian (or is it Sikh?) sweets. Only 4 ingredients are needed. Since I do not have cardamon in storage, I've substitute with equal parts of ground cinnamon and grated nutmeg. As Maeve commented they're very addictive!!
You can watch step by step video here.
I'd better jot down the ingredients here, in case they remove the video later on.
Burfi
Ingredients :-
250gm Desiccated coconut (50gm for rolling in the end)
375gm Sweetened condensed milk
Dash of ground cardamon (sub. with equal parts of cinnamon & grated nutmeg)
Handful of pistachios (roughly grounded)
Method
1) In a bowl, mix 200gm of desiccated coconut, sweetened condensed milk, dash of cardomon and handful of roughly grounded pistachio well.
2) In a non-stick pan, heat the mixture gentally for about 10 mins.
3) Roll the heated mixture into balls and roll on remaining desiccated coconuts.
4) Chill in fridge for about 30 mins. before serving.
