7. Grease baking pan with oil and dust it with flour or spread butter paper/baking sheet. Preheat and bake in 180°C  for 40 mins.

Tips :

1. First I'll measure the sugar then I used to powder it. So sweetness may vary if you directly measure 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar.
2. Always sift flour with baking powder for 3 times, this will add air which makes the cake lighter, breaks up lumps, and removes foreign particles if any.
3. Also mix cocoa powder in warm water unless no lump is seen and keep it aside before you start the process.
4. Make sure not to mix the batter too much from 'Step 5'. This will incorporate too much of air into the mixture also it'll result in extra gluten development which means the texture can be gummy or unpleasantly chewy.
5. For making cupcakes, pour the batter in cupcake molds and bake it in 180°C for 20 mins.
