Teacher: Tell the class how you did Miss Divyanka?

Ishita: My cake is a Chilli Chocolate Cake... The ingredients are:

The Sponge:

175g wholemeal self raising flour

175g soft light brown sugar

175g soft unsalted butter

3 large eggs, beaten

1 heaped tbsp of cocoa powder

1 tsp of baking powder

1 red chilli pepper, very finely chopped (sweet, mild chillis will work better than fiery ones)

1/2 tsp of dried chilli flakes

The Filling & Frosting:

250g dark chocolate (chilli chocolate if you can find it)

250ml double cream

1 small knob of butter (roughly a large heaped tablespoon)

1 red chilli pepper, very finely chopped

1/2 tsp of hot chilli powder

1/2 tsp of dried chilli flakes

Method

Sift the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder into a mixing bowl.

Add the sugar, butter, eggs, fresh chilli and dried chilli. Beat this together until you end up with a soft mixture that falls off a spoon when you hit it against the bowl. Add a drop or two of water if you think your mixture is too stiff.

Divide the mixture into two baking tins (I recommend 7 inch diameter) and bake at 170 degrees C (325F) for 30 minutes, or until springy in the centre and a knife inserted into the sponge comes out clear. Allow to cool for one hour after cooking.

To make your filling for the middle and frosting for the top melt the chocolate over a medium heat. My method of doing this is to boil a pan of water and put a heat proof bowl on top of the pan, drop the chocolate in the bowl and stir until melted.

Once melted take the chocolate off the heat. Stir in the chillis, butter and cream. Cover with cling film and allow it to cool. When cooled, put the mixture in to the fridge for around an hour or until thickened enough to easily spread (but not set hard).

When thickened, spread the chocolate mixture as a filling and topping for your cake. Decorate with crushed pistachios and finely chopped fresh red chillis. Enjoy!

Teacher: Wow! Lovely Miss Divyanka... Miss Irani, would you please tell us the ingredients and the methods!

Gauri: Presenting you The Mashed potato cake

Bake: 25 min. + cooling

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened

2 cups sugar

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 cup cold mashed potatoes (without added milk and butter)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup baking cocoa

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup whole milk

1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

CARAMEL ICING:

1/2 cup butter, cubed

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup evaporated milk

2 cups confectioners' sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Methods:

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Add potatoes and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Stir in nuts.

Pour into 2 greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

For icing, in a saucepan over low heat, cook butter and brown sugar until butter is melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in evaporated milk; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; cool to room temperature. Stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spread between layers and over top of cake.

Teacher: Wow ! It's amazing.... Can't wait to taste it...

Gauri: Have a bite sir!

Divyanka: Have mine first sir!

Teacher: Sure Miss Divyanka! Your cake is looking yummy and I'll go for Miss Tripathi first!

Divyanka cut a piece and gave it to the teacher.

"Oh my God! It's so spicy", he screamed.

Without wasting time, Gauri cut a piece of her cake and feed the teacher. He was feeling better as the cake of Gauri was sweet. It reduced the heat of the spice. Later Gauri served him a glass of water. Divyanka asked for forgiveness. 

"Can I a piece of your cake Divyanka?", asked Gauri.

They cut their cake into pieces and served the class.

The bell rang for the Break.

Gauri was waiting at the canteen. Omkara arrived first.

"Hi Omkara, how was your class?"

"Amazing"

After a few minutes, the four arrived and decided to order French fries with coke for lunch.

"Guys! I had bake a cake in the class today"

"Wow! It's gonna be yummy"

Gauri served them Divyanka cake first and ordered five class of juice from the canteen.

"It's yummy... Red velvet cake", said Rudra

"Guys! Go for it"

They had a bite...

"Oh shit! It's hot"

"Spicy"

"Oh mama"

"Fuffff"

"Aigahhhhh"

*screamed the five

"Have your juice", said Gauri by laughing. "It will reduced the heat"

Gauri served them her cake and asked them to have it as it is sweet not spicy. They felt relief while having her potato cake.

"What was that Gauri?"asked Omkara.

"Red Chilli cake"

"What?"

Darshan came and joined them.

"Will you have some cake?", asked Gauri.

"No thanks! I saw your reactions while you were having the cake", said Darshan. "I'll preferred the potato cake"

"Sure"

"Guys! You will need to skip your last class and you have to join me" said Darshan. "Even you Anika and don't worry I had already spoken with your teacher"

"Ok"

"Meet me at auditorium after the break"
