Sift self raising flour, plain flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt for 3-4 times.
Add sugar and mix the dry ingredients well.
Mix well. This mixture is for making a big 9 inch square cake.
I have divided the ingredients into two parts and bake them to get two sponges. You can make a single big sponge and can cut it in layers afterwards and decorate the cake. The baking time for baking a single sponge will be around 60-65 minutes or as per the oven type. I have divided the mixture into two parts and have baked two sponges.
In a pan, melt 90 g of butter on low heat. I have used the unsalted butter. (If making a single big sponge than use the entire 200 g of butter.)
Add the melted butter to the cake mix and mix well.
Now add gradually 1.5 cup of milk to it and mix well. (if making a single big sponge then use 3 cups of milk)
Mix the mixture gently to remove all the lumps.
Grease a 9 inch square pan with butter.
Spinkle the plain flour over it and tap it gently to all the sides . The flour will stick to the surface. Remove excess flour.
The dusted pan is ready as shown.
Pour the batter in the greased and dusted pan. Shake it to the sides and tap the pan for 3-4 times to remove air bubbles.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven @ 180 C for 50 minutes. (if baking a single big sponge then bake it for 60-70 minutes or till cook). Insert a toothpick . If it comes out clean the cake is done or else bake for 5-10 minutes more or till done. Similarly bake the other sponge.
Remove, cool and unmould the cake on a wire rack. Let it cool.
