C3 Cake with a surprise!

Ha ha! Wondering what three Cs have I used?! Well, Carrot (Yes it is), Coconut and Chocolate! And the surprise, read below! Some very different ingredients but turns out to be one delicious thingummy :)

For this you will need -

3 Nos - Eggs
200 gm - Flour
100 gms - Dessicated Coconut
150 gms - Sugar
5 Tbspns - Oil ( Any odourless one)
150 gms - Grated Carrot
50 ml - Milk
1 tspn - Vanilla Extract
1 tspn - Baking Soda
100 gms - Dark Chocolate (Cut into big cubes/chunks)

Method -

Grease the cake tin and sprinkle flour all over. Keep aside.

Take the eggs in a bowl. And whisk them well. Now add the sugar and oil. Beat this for a minute. Now add the rest of the ingredients, except the chocolate, one by one and keep on mixing, till you get a batter that looks like this.

 

 

Pour the batter into the prepared tin. Now press the chunks of chocolate into the batter with a spoon at various places. Basically scatter it and press enough so they are hidden inside. So when the cake bakes you will have melted chocolate surprise in your mouth!!

 

Bake this in a preheated oven at 180 deg C for 30 mins or till a fork inserted comes out clean.
If you want dust with dessicated coconut and icing sugar. I didn't do that, didn't have time that day. Had to rush this to a friend's place, so took it straight out of the oven and dashed to the car!
