• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 6 tbsp dahi (curd)
• 5 tbsp milk (whole Buffalo, 6.5% fat)
• 5 tbsp melted butter
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (akhrot)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
• butter to grease the ring mould

• 1/2 cup icing sugar

Steps

1. Grease a 150 mm (6”) diameter ring mould with butter and keep aside.
2. Preheat the oven to 180°c (360°f).
3. In a small bowl, mix curd, baking soda and baking powder. Keep it aside.
4. Put a sieve over a bowl and sieve the plain flour and cocoa power together with the help of a spoon.
5. Take a large bowl and put the melted butter, powdered sugar, curd mixture, vanilla essence, plain flour-cocoa powder mixture and milk. Mix well with the help of a spatula.
6. Add the chopped walnuts and mix well. Pour this mixture into the greased ring mould.
7. Bake at 180°c (360°f) for 40 to 45 minutes.
8. Demould the cake and place it upside down on a plate. Let the cake cool down completely.
9. To make the icing, mix the cocoa powder, icing sugar and water to make a thick paste. Make the icing after the cake has cooled as the icing hardens quickly.
