When the milk curdles slightly, add food color in it and mix it with curd mixture.

In another bowl, seive flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda together.

Add flour mixture and milk alternately to curd mixture and mix well.

Add milk in the mixture to adjust consistency.

Pour the mixture and bake it in preheated oven at 180 degree for 30 - 40 minutes.
