MOIST CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE

I can say this is the best and super moist cake in the world. I never baked or tasted such an easy and tasty cake before. Yes, baking this moist cake is super easy with very,very simple ingredients. I frosted this cake with my yummy chocolate buttercream frosting (recipe here) to make this cake more tastier and rich. But plain cake itself tastes amazing.one more thing you should follow is measurements,please follow the correct measurements given below. Don't half the recipe. If you are a vegetarian then add 3/4 cup of curd instead of eggs. One more thing is it takes around 45 minutes to 1 hour to bake. Mine was done in 50 minutes.so,keep an eye on cake after 40 minutes of baking.
