- ⅔ cup Maida/All purpose flour
- ½ cup Unsweetened cocoa
- 227 grms Semi sweet baking chocolate
- 3 Eggs
- 2 Egg yolks
- ½ granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
truffles:
- Place the chocolate in a bowl.
- Heat heavy cream in a small pan over medium heat and bring to boil.
- Pour boiling cream over the chopped chocolate.
- Let it sit for five minutes and whisk until smooth.
- Pour the mixture onto a non-stick baking sheet and slightly spread it with a spatula.
- Place this in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Divide into two and roll into balls.
- Place the truffles into paper lined plates and place in the freezer.
To make the chocolate cake:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Lightly coat the inside of muffin tin (3-inch diameter cups) with melted butter. Set this aside.
- Sift combine flour and cocoa powder keep aside.
- Melt chocolate and butter in double boiler or in a microwave and stir until smooth.
- Place egg, egg yolks and sugar in a bowl and beat on medium-high heat with an electric mixer.
- When it is frothy add the butter and chocolate mixture and beat for 15 seconds.
- Fold in the dry ingredients along with vanilla extract.
- Fill three forth of each muffin cup with the batter and bake for about 5-6 minutes.
- Remove the truffle from the freezer. Quickly take the muffin tray from the oven and press one truffle each to the centre of the muffin. Immediately return the baking pan into the oven and continue baking until a toothpick inserted into the cake (not the centre truffle portion but the edge of the cake) comes out clean.
- It will take 15-17 minutes.
- Cool in room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Run a knife around each cake to loosen it and then gently pull the baked cake out of the cup.
- You can serve while still warm with whipped cream or ice cream but we had it plain.

Hi Mad Scientist,
Who said that diet should always be grey? Loved the way Tripuri cuisine made it… a divine “Tea soup” from sorghum. There’s always to use black sesame!!!
Drawn in, we were just getting stunned by the mystery of, how cuisines leave places with its name. Got to know this swell from Uttarkhand – “Mandua ki roti” and “Phansu”…
