Method

Chocolate Cake

1.  Preheat the oven to 180 C.
2. Beat the eggs and sugar until creamy and pale color with an electric hand mixer.
3. Strain the flour and cocoa powder so that it mixes up well.
4. Add vanilla essence to the beaten eggs.
5. Fold in the flour mixture softly with a metal or wooden spoon.
6. Butter a baking tray and cover with parchment paper or butter paper.
7. Pour the batter into it and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
8. It can also be prepared in a pressure cooker without putting its vent weight on.For further details check the chocolate cake recipe here.

Chocolate Sauce

1. First boil milk with sugar stirring continuously so that it does not stick to the bottom or separate.
2. When the mixture,when touched on the stirring spoon seems to be slightly sticky,add the cocoa powder and stir continuously.
3. When it becomes a bit more thick(not too thick,it should be in a loose consistency which would thicken when cooled),add sweetened condensed milk and butter to it.
4. Stir well until butter dissolves and remove from flame.

Brownie Balls

1. Shred the cake into tiny particles with hand.
2. Now pour in the sauce and mix well to a dough consistency which should be moist enough to melt in the mouth.
3. You may add the sauce only upto the level needed.Need not use the entire amount of sauce.
4. Make balls in the size of a lemon with the dough.
5. Crush the nuts if using nuts or you can also use dessicated coconut instead of nuts,spread it on a plate and roll the balls on it,such that it gets coated completely.
6. Serve immediately or can be stored in refrigerator for 1 week.

Note: You can also add crushed nuts or diced dates to the cake particles while mixing it with the sauce.But I like it very soft and melting in mouth and so I don't add nuts inside but only outside to coat the balls.
