Prep Time	15 Minutes
Cooking Time	35-40 Minutes

Method 1.     Bring butter up to room temperature 2.     Mix and Sieve All Purpose Flour / Maida, cocoa powder and baking Soda and set aside 3.     In a mixing bowl, add butter and sugar. Whisk vigorously for 3-4 minutes. 4.     Add curd and whisk again for 2-3 minutes. 5.     Mix the sieved all-purpose flour and whisk again for 1-2 minutes 6.     Now add milk slowly and keep on mixing till you get a medium consistency (not too thick or thin… thicker than Idly batter if you would compare). 7.     Preheat the oven for 5 minutes 350 F (160 C). Grease the baking pan with a little butter. 8.     Pour the batter to baking pan and bake for about 30 minutes at around 350 F till the Cake turns golden brown. Note: The edges bake faster than the center, so keep an eye on the edges. Another test is to prick with a knife and knife to come out clean without any batter sticking to it. 9.     Take out the pan, let it cool down   10.  With a help of knife frost the cake and decorate it with perfect gems and sliced strawberries.
