    MAKING OF CHOCOLATE ICING

    • While the cake is cooling down, prepare the chocolate icing and for that add 1 cup milk, 1/3 cup cocoa powder, 1 cup sugar and 50 gram butter in a pan. If using salted butter, then skip adding additional butter in cake.

    • Once the mixture comes to boil, switch off the heat.
    • Let this chocolate icing cool down.

    COATING OF CAKE

    • Cut the cake into cubes of desired sizes.
