Cakes are my favourite since childhood. Chocolate cake is one of those cravings that I have often. So I generally keep all the ingredients handy and I bake whenever I feel like eating.

Even the composition of ingredients matters! So, it is not only the beating but many things put together to get a delectable and incredibly perfect chocolate cake for kids.

How to tell when cake is done:
- A simple test to check whether the cake is baked completely or not is to insert a toothpick in the centre. The toothpick should come out clean without any batter sticking to it.
- If the toothpick comes out with the batter sticking to it, you have it bake the cake for some more time probably 5 – 10 min more. Generally, this cake is done within 45 min.
- Take the cake out of the oven and set it aside to cool.
- Take a knife and run it between the edges of the pan and the cake slowly.
- Now take a plate on which you want to unmould the cake. Invert it on the top of the pan.
- Turn the pan over with the plate on the platform. Slowly lift the pan and keep aside.
- Cut the cake into the desired shape and serve.
Notes
* Powdered sugar is used in order to lessen the beating time. If you cannot powder the sugar, add the whole sugar and beat till it is dissolved completely.
** Preheating the oven is a must. If you start baking the cake without preheating, the mixture lies in the oven while it is heating up. The cake will not turn well this way.
*** All the ingredients should be brought to room temperature before starting.
**** Unmoulding the cake is an important step of baking a cake though it is the last step. Letting it cool will get the cake out undisturbed.
