Firstly, I have to apologise that I can't share the whole recipe, not because this recipe is a secret recipe, but because I made two cakes that day, the quantity of ingredients is just agar agar (estimation based on my reference) for both cakes. However, I am happy to share this moist mud cake and chocolate cream recipe with you, and believe that it will be pleasing to anyone who tries this rich chocolate cake.
Don't you agree? For those who love to bake, they must have at least one good chocolate cake recipe. The kind that you scribble down in your notebook or type out in your PC, the kind that you memorise, the kind your friends and family keep asking you to make over and over again. And my thought, that with this recipe, I’ve found one I love and can see myself going back to, time after time.
I can't categorise this one as a great cake but this is one of the chocolate cake that I like Forgive me the lousy rose topping, a bit out of place but it was fun to play with. I always believe practice makes perfect, hope this will happen to me, my rose decor will be made perfect one day.
This cake is especially for my goddaughter who just turned to 20th, my daughter and their F4 buddies went to surprise her, the cake might not be the perfect one, but I am sure that its the thought that count. My daughter is always so sweet to me; she praise the cake is yummy and request to make for her next birthday!!
昨天的是前奏曲， 今天的是交响曲
歌颂得如何？掌声就是代表性
掌声是具有震撼肢体语言
掌声代表- 肯定、鼓励、拥护
对于得到者来说是：成功、收获、荣耀
花朵害羞的抬起头儿,对春风绽开笑颜
它确实需要力量与鼓励
让它的笨手笨脚的`女主人继续朝前再迈一步
一个惊喜,能增进友谊
一个惊喜,能带来无比的欢乐
蛋糕为干女儿而弄的
虽无法参与年轻人的惊喜生日聚会
但默默给于掌声，其实也是真诚的喝彩
掌声是心与心之间无声的交流
掌声是人与人之间爱的传递
掌声即心声,相由心生
所以，生活中，不要吝啬，给别人多一点掌声
