Chocolate Cake for the New Year

Wishing you all Very Happy and Prosperous New Year !!

I hope this new year brings in a lot of good things and events that are truly good to each of your lives.

Its always nice to start the year on a sweet note. I was pondering over two posts on which should go in first, when I stumbled upon Chocolate Mela by Srivalli. So I decide to post the cake I baked few days ago.

Its a simple chocolate cake made in the pressure cooker. You can find the recipe here.

A few variations that I made to the original recipe or rather improvised was the presentation part of the cake. I have used Icing sugar and pomegranate seeds for the decoration.

With so my inspiration from Siri and Nags, I have started Project 365.Third Eye Visuals do visit and let me know your comments. If you are also doing this project, do leave me a comment I will add you to my side bar and visit your blogs.

Again wishing you all a very happy new-year ..One of my new year resolution is to be active on my blogs. Hope I do justice to it. 

Updating the post with my entries to two wonderful events happening
