Apply butter or oil to medium sized cake mould. Dust with flour to make a thin coating. This is to avoid cake from

In another large bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients
to the dry ingredients and stir, or whisk, until combined.Do it slowly to avoid clumps. Bake for about 27 - 32 minutes or check by inserting toothpick

 1Gather the ingredients. You'll need:
 1 cup of sugar(powder in blender)
 6 tablespoons of butter(keep it in room temprature 1/2 hour before starting to prepare)
 1/2 cup of cocoa powder

Cream butter. In a large bowl, whip butter at medium speed with an electric mixer(for better result),
if you don't have electric blender, you can do it with an egg whisk,
until it is fluffy.

Blend dry ingredients. In a small bowl, sift to combine cocoa and granulated sugar.

Add little milk to the cocoa and sugar, mix well. Do not add too much milk, or the mixture will become
too thin.

Beat well until the mixture is spreading consistency. If too thick, add more milk, one teaspoon at a time. If too thin,
add more cocoa/sugar mixture.
Add 1 tablespoon vanilla. Blend well.
Blend well so there aren't any clumps.

Now you can spread it on your cake.
