Made this cake for New Year's eve.

NOTE : the measure of ingredients such as baking powder and baking soda are in terms of tsp, and cocoa powder in terms of tbsp. Use 4-5 drops of vanilla extract.
You can also use a cake stencil for the garnishing.

P.S.: I didn't have whipped cream so I used heavy cream and whipped it with powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
