..::HERSHEY'S "PERFECTLY CHOCOLATE" Chocolate Cake::..




Well.., masa buat kek coklat for my office mate last time, I rasa amat-amat x puas hati.. Biasanya I amat-amat puas hati dgn resipi kek tu.. But this time, I rasa there must be something wrong.. Last nite, I memang tak bleh tido sebab hal tu. Then, pukul 1.30 am, lepas menilik-nilik 3-4 resipi kek coklat yang ada dalam simpanan, terus saya meluru ke dapur, nak test resipi.. Lucky me sebab bahan-bahan yang diperlukan semua cukup kat dapur.

Masa tengah buat kek tu, pelik pulak rasa sebab batternya dirasakan terlalu cair.. Tapi saya biarkan saja, then ikut 100% resepi asal.. Then bila dah siap dan dicuba, hasilnya memang memuaskan saya. Very rich, moist. Here is the picture of the cake. Tapi I tak hias kek nie, sebab nak test resipi saja..
