lazy cooks chocolate turai cake

In all fairness,this is a chocolate zucchini cake ,but we don't get zucchini here....we get turai(same family)......and plenty of it!So the time has come to start puting this in EVERYTHING!.......But jokes aside,the cake is really lovely and moist..and not a hint of the veg.
On a completely unrelated note,I have zero will power(which is why I am not a size 0,or 1 or 2...or heck any of the single digits!).........which is why instead of sitting and doing my assignments(I'm doing my masters in Psychology)I spend all my time(when we have the net connection,that is),on my blog,visiting all of you and generally not even going near my books........So until I finish the damn assignments,I'm not going to come near my laptop........but I love you guys and will get back soon(I hope!)Please keep visiting...and soon...real soon I'll visit all of you:)
INGRDS
1 cup wholewheat flour(atta)
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa pdr
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking pdr
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 1/2 cups grated turai(zucchini)
METHOD
1.Seive the dry ingrds(flour,baking soda,baking pdr,salt and cocoa pdr) and keep aside.
2.With your hand mixer,beat the oil ,sugar and eggs....add the essence,the turai and the flour..beat well.
3.Prepare(butter and then dust with flour)a baking pan,pour the mixture and bake in a pre heated oven at 180 deg C for 40 mins.
4.Once the cake has come out of the oven and is cool,pour the glaze on this(I had dusted icing sugar once....but within minutes it got absorbed into the cake.)..so the chocolate glaze it is then!
Chocolate glaze
50 gms butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons of icing sugar
2 tablespoons of cocoa pdr
a little milk to get the right consistency(1-2 tblsps)
METHOD
1 .My mom used to use only icing sugar,I mix the two because I'm always running low on that...you do what makes you happy


 




2.Melt the butter in a pan ,add the sugar, get it off the heat add the icing sugar,cocoa pdr and a drop of essence,now add a tblsp of milk,...then a little more ...stir well pour on the cake......cut a slice .....yum.....and no guilt beacuse its all healthy...we're eating vegetables!

  20. naturally like your web-site but you need to check the spelling on several of
    your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I to find it very bothersome to inform
    the reality nevertheless I'll certainly come again again.

  33. I tend not to write a comment, but after reading a few of the comments
    on "lazy cooks chocolate turai cake". I do have a couple of questions
    for you if it's okay. Is it simply me or do a few of the responses come across like they are written by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing at other online social sites, I'd like to keep up with you.
    Would you list of the complete urls of your shared sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

  34. Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is important and everything. However think of if you added some great graphics or videos to give your posts more, "pop"!
    Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this site could
    definitely be one of the best in its field. Amazing blog!
