One-Dish Chocolate Cake Makes 1 (9x9-inch) cake

1/2 cup (40 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder

1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour

3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup (240 milliliters) water

1/3 cup (75 milliliters) safflower or other neutral-tasting oil

1 teaspoon cider vinegar

Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a 9-inch square cake pan.

Add the water, oil, and vinegar to the pan, stirring gently to blend the wet ingredients into the dry. Scrape down the sides with a silicone spatula and bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes before serving. Serve plain or dusted with powdered sugar.

I admit "my own self" would be something I wouldn't name for a long time, and that's just so sad. We're all so hard on ourselves, never being content with who we are. And thinking its selfish that we care about oneself. But its not. #SelfLove is key to being loved. To being happy and accepting. I need to appreciate who I am. And who I'll be. #introspection #quotes #love

So I tried my hand at making #SundayLunch today and decided to cook up a recipe given by an office colleague - #KashmiriPotatoes. Deep fried small potatoes in a gravy of yoghurt, chilli powder and coriander-cumin powder. All just mixed. Add fresh coriander for garnish. #Indian #Vegetarian
