Chocolate Fudge Cake

Waduh, actually bila baca kat comments2 yang diberi dari teman2 blogger..hari tu about Marsya's birthday cake..kita telan air liur aje tau gulp!..heheh..alahai kek yang dibuat tak glamour lah you..kek biasa2 aje..this time kita tak sempat nak buat 'research'  dan think more about Marsya's cake, sebab asik sibuk aje dengan the kids homework and other stuffs lah..so decided pun last minute dan gunakan bahan2 yang ada kat rumah aje..

Bila tanya Marsya nak kek apa dia jawap nak kek 'Dora'..check jugalah ineternet cake dora macam mana, tapi mostly 'kek kepala Dora' atau edible image of "Dora'..lepas congak2 kita cakap dengan dia, 'Adoi kek Dora susah buat lah Marsya'..mama tak tahu buat..flip buku for some ideas, ingat nak buat 'Princess Castle'..pun susah dan lagi banyak kerja wei..hahaha..memandangkan hari birthday Marsya tu half of the day kita kat luar..bila balik tak sempat nak fikir lama2 terus aje buat kek ni...sebab sebelah malamnya nak potong  kek bila Mr Hubby pulang dari office..so kita decided on this number '5' cake since she is 5 years old..hahaha..Marsya smiled with satisfaction bila mama dah siap deco kan, shukurlah tak banyak songeh, asal ada kek jadilah kan..haha... Chocolate Fudge Cake ni kita pernah buat  here.. last year for Iqram's giant lego's cake..Nak buat dia pun senang aje...for this recipe kita gunakan 11/2 adunan - 1 loyang kek chiffon 7" + 1 loyang empat segi  5".. kek ni very moist, very chocolatey dan lembut aje..memang sesuai siapa2 yang sukakan kek coklat..
