Hi Nupur, <br />love your friendly casual tone in one hot stove, its really like talking to an old friend. Just looking through your recipe index and found this recipe. My daughter was born just 4 days before u posted this entry!<br />I am planning to bake this cake for my husband&#39;s birthday this year!<br />Thanks for your lovely recipes and the stories that go with them...<br />aarti

Dear Nupur,<BR/><BR/>Thanks a lot for the clarification. :)<BR/><BR/>Your measurement makes sense and as you suggested I checked it out and you are right !<BR/><BR/>I will let you know how the cake turned out..<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for everything !!<BR/><BR/>Mala

<B>Mala</B>, the measurements are in standard US cups. 1 cup is 8 oz. I found info online that says, 1 cup is 240 ml. Please do some web searches to double-check the quantities. <BR/> The chocolate brand does not matter. These days, I only use fair-trade chocolate, and here it was Trader Joe's bittersweet fair-trade chocolate that I used. But the brand should not make a difference, I think. <BR/

Hello Nupur,<BR/><BR/>A very nice blog... I read your post on the birthday cake and I so agree with you...<BR/><BR/>A cake made at home speaks a lot than any other gift...<BR/><BR/>Anyways, I was hoping to make this for my friend's b'day this Friday...but I have one question..<BR/><BR/>I had bought measuring cups from India and am not sure if the measurement is correct...<BR/><BR/>How much is a

Hey Nupur<BR/>as suggested by u, this time for new year's I made the black forest cake (which i have made trice with ur recipe !! and am in love with :)) with this chocolate base. The base was really gud to eat on its own but somehow everyone liked it better without the whole black forest arrangement. We all liked ur original black forest assembly better. I wud definitely be making this chocolate

Sweet! Love the cake and the write-up :) Your mom's cake sounds so much like my mom's - the green and pink layers - perfect! What more could a kid want? I don't eat eggs any more and never feel confident baking with substitutes, but I know I have to keep trying! And how could I forget - A belated Happy Birthday to V :)
