Method

1. Take two 7 inches cake tin and grease it with oil or butter and line it with a butter paper or parchment paper so that the cake comes out easily without sticking to the pan.

2. Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees C for 20 mins.

3. Take 1/4 cup of water and add the coffee granules and mix it well. Heat this in the microwave till it's warm.

4. Then take the egg in a bowl and add vanilla to it.

5. Then add curd. Add the refined oil and beat this well.

6. Then add the sugar and beat it in.

7. Then place a sieve over the bowl and add maida, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Sieve this into the bowl.

8. Combine the wet and the dry ingredients, as you start mixing, add the coffee and mix till you get a smooth batter. Do not over mix the batter.

9. Transfer the batter into the cake tins and tap it on the counter to remove air bubbles. And bake in the pre heated oven for 20 mins.

10. Put a skewer into the cake, if it comes out clean, then it's done otherwise bake for a little longer.

11. Let the cake cool in the tin for 15 mins then remove it from the tin and cool completely.

Sugar syrup

Do watch the video, for the step by step description.

Notes

1. Make sure the curd is thick in consistency and it should not be sour.

2. I have baked this cake in 2 cake tins, you can bake it in one 7 inch cake tin and cut it into two while frosting.

3. If you bake this in a single cake tin then the baking time will be slightly more.

4. Instead of using kiwi crush, you can also use fresh kiwis.
