Preparations

 Preheat oven @180° C for 10 minutes. Grease a cake pan with oil or butter and line parchment paper or dust with flour. Take the chocolate and cut them into small chunks. Mix with ½ tsp flour and set aside.

 Sieve the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder in a mixing bowl, mix well and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, take curd and sugar, whisk nicely and mix well till the sugar is melted.

 Add vanilla essence, milk, oil and stir well. Add in the flour mix and fold gently and make a smooth batter without lumps.

 Add the chocolate chunks and give a quick gently stir. Do not over mix the batter. Pour the batter into the greased pan. Tap the pan for couple of times to release any air bubbles trap inside.

 Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes. Start checking from 30 minutes. A tooth pick inserted should come out clean. Remove it from the oven, let it cool down for 5-10 minutes and then demould it. Allow the cake to cool down completely in a cooling rack.

Making the frosting: Take the butter, chocolate and sugar in a sauce pan and heat it for few seconds and switch off the flame immediately when the chocolate starts to melt. Add the cocoa powder and milk, mix well till both sugar and chocolate is melted completely and everything is combined well and smooth. Set aside. Your frosting is ready.

Frosting the cake: Now take the cake and evenly spread the frosting all over the cake with the help of a spatula or knife including the sides. Finally dust the cocoa powder over the cake. Cut and serve.
