Step 3: Take butter and milk in a bowl and heat it in microwave mode at 540 F for 2 minutes and allow it to cool.

Step 4: Add sifted flour and melted butter into beaten mixture. Fold it gently with wooden spatula. Divide this mixture into two vessels and add choco powder in one bowl and stir it nicely. Take a cake pan, apply butter liberally and dust it with maida and spread butter paper. Pour a portion of sponge mixture, then pour choco mixture alternatively and tap it on both sides to expel the air bubbles (as shown in picture 2).

Step 5: Pre heat the oven at 180 Degree Celsius and bake the cake in conventional mode at 180 Degree Celsius for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, insert a long stick into the baked cake and withdraw it. If the stick is sticky, you have to bake it for another 5-10 minutes.

Step 6: Take the pan from oven and allow it to cool.
