All-in-one Chocolate Cake

After baking the lemon butter cake successful previously, i decided i shld try baking cake 1 more time! maybe modify it a bit! i decided to change the recipe a bit and bake a chocolate cake instead! haha...i am trying to finish my big bottle of cocoa powder!

So basically, the recipe is still the same jus that instead of lemon zest and juice, i added 2 tablespoon of cocoa powder.

Look who came to visit....

Its YX! yeap...those skinny hands sifting the flour isnt me! hehe! She is here with me to attempt baking a chocolate cake!

Errr...we kinda spend more time toking instead of taking pics! hehe! For steps: it is exactly like the previous recipe.


Here is our successful choc cake rising in the oven after haf an hour! I did try to lower the temp after 1 hour of baking to make sure it doesnt get burnt on the top like it did previously. It worked! Nice looking cake!


Here's our nice cake cooling down on the cooling rack! It doesnt look chocolately enuff right? Actually, it was stated in the recipe book that if u wan your chocolate cake to have a darker colour, u can substitute caster sugar with soft brown sugar. If u think my cake looks kinda dry and its cracking, it isnt! i line the tin wrongly this time! too busy toking! The mixture had kinda seeped in betweens the baking sheets and so when i removed the baking sheets, it sorta cracks the side of the cake... heartache!

Verdict: din actually manage to eat more of the cake. Too tired. It takes damn long to cool manz! It smelt really good because of the cocoa. We did manage to pinch abit of the cake because of the cracks by the baking sheets. I think it needs a bit more cocoa powder..i love chocolaty stuffs! YX love the butter taste of the cake. hehe! Hope her parents will like the cake!

Baking is definitely more fun with frns! YX wanna try the burnt butter biscuit the next time! She copied down recipes she liked! haha! we are greedy gals! cooking because we like to eat!hehe!
