Scrambled Eggs Recipe



Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon Oil
Pepper and Other Seasonings 
4 Large Eggs
2 Tablespoons Water




Preparation:
Coat the pan with the oil and add the pepper and seasoning and turn the burner to high.

Immediately crack the eggs and mix them with the water right in the still cool frying pan with a fork. Since this recipe takes some direct attention (no leaving it alone!).
With a wooden spatula start gently scrapping the bottom of the frying pan in the center right away.
The moment you see egg start to form on the tip, turn the burner to a medium low and start gentle scrapping the egg from the frying pan from every part of its hot surface. Do not stop for anything that isn’t bleeding or on fire!

The more constant attention you give the eggs, the creamier they will be.
When the eggs look like they are almost dine. Turn the heat off and serve. The eggs will continue to cook a bit on their own.
Salt the eggs to taste.
Enjoy!

Now add cocoa powder and milk and powdered milk and then beat slowly until forms a soft paste. 

Finally we add the mixture in flour slowly while beating it, until it unites into one another and then we pour this batter into the cake mold, before pouring the mixture into mold make sure u first grease it with oil generously. 

Put the mold in the preheated 20 minutes before oven between 180C & 250C, for about one hour, keep checking after half hour if the cake is ready with a knife. 
One important tip is that never switch the flame again and again while baking, set the temperature once and let it remain till the end. 
After the cake is baked, take it out from oven and after it gets cold remove from the mold and wait for another 20 minutes so that the cake is cold. Serve.
