Earworm: Grace Kelly~~ Mika



our plan for Mother's Day this year was to bake a cake, a depart from the usual cookies. Originally we intended to import the baking utensils and kitchenware to our house courtesy of my sister's friend Calyn, but what the heck the latter said it was better we do it in their house instead. So fabricated excuse to mum, out we drove to our first cake-baking experience!



We asked her to choose a simple recipe- Chocolate Moist Cake, when we arrived, already Calyn and her mum was taking charge of the situation. Me and sis felt like too much cooks only... =/ I helped like 10% of sieving the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and sodium bicarbonate, 10% coz i spilt the powders all over and Calyn had to take over instead. heh.



This whisking machine (?) is such a cool contraption, you just pour everything in there, butter, eggs, the sieved stuff above, bit by bit though, to enhance uniform smoothness (what a pharm prac term!)
and voila u have cake batter! (no pic)




These are ingredients for the chocolate moist, corn starch, cocoa powder, evaporated milk, castor sugar, vanilla essence, water, egg yolks (though we forgot to add them til later)



Heating the chocolate moist over a steamer. Butter to be added in when the mixture turns thick. Mmmm...



Leftover from the whisking machine. Lick it!



The rising cake batter



Kinda cracked on top, when we took it out there were two holes in the bottom, the pros couldn't figure out what was wrong... **



Oooh, the chocolate moist



**... we salvaged it to become a quarter of a cake, some slices stacked on top of each other, it's kinda rich anyway so this serving is alright. The leftovers were either eaten by us or given to Kev for ready made mother's day gift. Hah!
