Black Devil Chocolate Cake with a 'moist' look

This is an all time favourite recipe of mine. Used to start making this during my teen until now, for my kids. It's crispy on the outside and nice and soft in the inside. You can modify it however you wish, making it into cupcakes and pouring some ganache with colourful sprinkles on it to have that extra chocolaty taste and look to it. Be creative.. :-)  Here,s the recipe :

1/2 slab of butter (125g)
2 cups castor sugar (you can substitute it with brown sugar like I                                     did, just for a much healthier cake)
3eggs
2 cups of flour ( it can be multipurpose or superfine flour)
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 leveled tsp bicarbonate of soda
2/3 cup cocoa/chocolate powder
Pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup of cold water

How to:

1. Cream butter and sugar with mixer
2. Add in eggs one by one, still in the mixer
3. Add in vanilla essence, salt. This would be your 'wet ingredients'
4. Sieve flour, cocoa/choc powder, b.p and b.s and set in a bowl as 'dry ingredients'
5. Now add in dry ingredients and cold water to wet mixture alternately. Make sure you end with the dr ingredients. I usually use the mixer till the end process of baking cake o tht the cake would be soft and nice.
6. Bake for 45min at 180°C or till its cracked at the surface and when poking a fork through the cake comes out clean. Then you'll know that the cake is perfectly baked.

As for the chocolate ganache topping, all you need is just some chopped block chocolate, melted using the double boiler method. After it's melted, all you need is just some cream. Whisk in cream little by little until you get the right conistency of your ganache. Then just sprinkle any decoration of your choice. (This is the fun part your kids can help you with ) :-) Here's my version of cake. Cute, moist look cupcakes for those kids of mine...
