My first try: Chocolate Mud Cake

Chocolate Mud Cake:

Recipe from baking Cooking Book

This is my first try baking Chocolate Mud Cake...This recipe is from Baking Book Recipe bought form Najlaa's kindy last year...Cubaan pertama buat chocolate Mud Cake..Inilah hasilnya...patutlah kek ni mahal dijual di kedai..mmg penuh rasa coklat dan mmg bnyk menggunakan Dark Chocolate (Cooking chocolate)....
Kek ni permintaan Najmi yg memang suka mkn kek..dan mama pun nak menghabiskan strawberry dlm fridge yg tinggal 12 biji...dan mama pun mmg teringin nak buat kek yg penuh rasa coklat...

 Inilah rupa kek yang dibakar hampir 2 jam...fuuh..punyalah lama...total cooking hours 1.55 minutes...Tapi memang puas hati rasanya...di topping pulak dgn Chocolate Ganache (untuk topping ni saya buat sedikit je sbb chocolate masakan saya dah habis)....

 

Ini rupa budak kecik yang request cake di pagi hari...Muka tak sabar nak makan..tmbh2 ada strawberry kat atas cake...Diorg berdua mmg sukakan Strawberry....Tp petang baru dpt mkn..sbb tunggu daddy balik Uni dulu..Bila Abah dah balik Uni...hmm..ape lagi....jadi mcm gmbr dibawah...

Opps...Saya tak dapat nak letak resepi kat sini sbb buku resepi tersebut dipinjam oleh one of my friends. Dia nak buat kek yg sama untuk birthday puteri sulungnya..insyaAllah..saya akak letakkan resepi Chocolate Mud Cake tu nnt... So kena cuci mata dgn gambar kek dulu...:)
