Milo Monster Chocolate Cake

Ok, semasa kita buatkan birthday cake si Iqram pada March yang lalu..kita cuba buat cake perisa Milo..end up the cake macam bantat..my mum cakap cake kau macam kuih talam!..Meruntum jiwa ku pada waktu itu..kesian cake anak kita jadi macam tu..tapi buttercream & chocolate ganachenya ok aje..nak tau apa kita buat dengan cake tu?..Masuk dalam perut Mr Bin..kita lontarkan dari tingkat 4 kebawah...actually bila lepas keluar dari oven kita dah dapat rasakan kek kita macam tak jadi..tapi disebabkan kesuntukkan masa nak mengaisingkan cake tu..kita teruskan aje...kesian Iqram makan jugalah dia a few slices..:(

Disebabkan tidak puashati dengan outcome cake untuk Iqram..pada birthday kita April lalu, kita cari lagi recipe yang lain..All about Milo cakes..then terjumpa recipe dari Peng's Kitchen ni..terus bekenan, the reason why I choose this recipe was because the use of Milo yang banyak, sebab suka cake rasa Milo yang a bit intense rather yang mild aje rasa Milonya tu...kita pun buat buttercream perisa Milo, original recipe guna Ovaltine dan ada campur susu..Kita adjusted mana yang sesuai dan akhirnya berjaya menghasilkan cake Milo Monster Chocolate Cake ni!!...
Its Milo Chiffon Cake w/ Chocolate Milo Buttercream & Chocolate Ganache..drizzle with salted caramel sauce...:)

Ditengah cake tukan lompong sebab kita guna acuan chiffon ..so filled up with buttercream & cocokkan chocolate stick kasi part of deco...
