♥...Moist Chocolate Cake...♥

Having tried a few moist chocolate cakes before, the result had always disappointed me. It’ll be toooooooooo moisty (watery) in the center even after chilling for hours. Hey, I did not claim the recipe is wrong! I did mistake somewhere for sure! Well, I’ve just started baking U know…(errr, just justifying myself here…)

Thus tempted me to try another recipe, highly recommended by Namitha and Sunitha from Cookingpals. Thanks to Namitha for passing me the conversion link. That really helps.

Would say I was terribly excited and satisfied with the outcome. My kids enjoyed the cake very much and Rishie has even ordered me to do it again. Haha, so what else verdict  do U need??? This recipe is sure a keeper.

Recipe originally adapted from HERE.

I made half of the recipe, direct copy from COOKINGPALS. Thanks again to Namitha for promoting it! Please do visit them, their photograph speaks everything!

2.Mix the flour and baking soda by whisking together in a mixing bowl.
3..Beat the sugar and butter/oil. Add the egg and beat well.
