Mix the Base and Make the Batter

Take a large bowl, and add 1 cup milk and 1 teaspoon of vinegar. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then whisk. Add ¼ cup oil, ½ cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence. Whisk and mix well, until the sugar has completely dissolved. 

Take a sieve, and sift 1 cup maida, ¼ cup cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon baking soda. Mix properly, using the cut and fold method. Add the milk and prepare a smooth, lump-free batter.
