Tak sangka betul, my chocolate cake itu membuatkan air liur a few people meleleh leleh kat atas keyboard, hehehe.Probably because of my photo, tetiba sale chocolate cake kat Secret Recipe melonjak2 naik nya hari ni ye ;-). When I mentioned it to The Other Half, dia kata, “maybe because of it’s cute small round shape and the fudgy texture that makes people drool looking at it.” Mungkin lah jugak what he said is true. Sebab kek tu nampak comel and ‘chubby’ and padat, tu yang nampak menggiurkan sangat2…

Actually ada story behind the cake. I got the recipe from Myresipi by Sofinar but biasalah I kan, mana boleh tengok resipi tu unchanged like that. I pun bega2 dia ikut selera I and ikut apa yang ada kat rumah, hehehe. At the same time, I bakar the cake instead of kukus but I baked it at a 160C which is quite low lah so dia naik lambat sikit. I think a lot of chocolate cake recipes yang lebih kurang my edited version rasanya sebab punyalah banyak choc cake recipes floating around nowadays, tinggal nak choose yang mana satu aje, hehehe. But,this is my edited version :

Kek coklat

  • 1/2 cawan gula perang (brown sugar)
  • 1/2cawan susu pekat
  • 1 cawan tepung gandum
  • 1/2 cawan sebuk koko
  • 1/2 cawan minyak masak/ minyak jagung (I used canola oil)
  • 1/2 cawan fresh milk
  • 1 biji telur (59g/gred A)
  • 1/2 sudu teh baking powder
  • 1/2 sudu teh esen vanila
  • 1/2 cawan air panas (I used boiling water)

-Mix everything together (except air panas) in a big bowl using hand mixer for about 2-3 minutes until all bercampur sebati. Then add the boiling water and beat it again until just combined.       

-The mixture will be very runny but don't worry :-).

- I used a round 6 inchesx 3 inches baking tin. Sebab recipe ni cuma guna sikit aje baking powder and guna plain flour, kek ni tak naik sangat, tu yang nampak padat sgt2. For those yang tak suka kek padat, kena lah tambah baking powder lagi ye.

-Bake it at 160C for about 50 minutes. I tak tengok sangat the time it took to complete the baking process sebab I just cucuk dgn skewer, bila nampak kek tu masih cling to the skewer a bit, I matikan oven. I tak nak ter over cook, takut kering sangat pulaknya.

-Then bila dah sejuk, hiaskan lah dengan choc ganache :-). And masukkan dalam fridge for a few hours before serving to make it denser.

Ini recipe for the choc ganache yang I selalu guna but I guna milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate. Kalau I nak dia cair sikit, I tambah some more cream. Kalau I nak dia pekat sikit, I masukkan dalam fridge :-).

The cake tasted really nice but for me macam terasa pulak yang it uses oil instead of butter. It wasn’t oily at all tapi maybe my tekak malam tadi was a bit weird kot. The Other Half and The Little Misses makan sedap aje. Maybe kalau I melt the butter, lagi sedap kot? :-). And you kena makan the cake in small slice sebab it was really fudgy and rich.

Anyway, that’s the story behind the chocolate cake. And now nak tayang our dinner pulak. The Little Misses and The Other Half asked for pizza malam ni. Budak tak sihat mintak pizza, Mummy pun dengan rasa motivated terus lah pergi kedai beli all the necessary ingredients to make the pizza. Kalau The Other Half aje yang mintak pizza, next week kot baru I buat, hahaha….

nak tanya, sukatan cawan yang digunakan tu, kalau ikut gram, berapa gram? pasal cawan ada pelbagai bentuk kan. sorry saya tak berapa pandai membuat kek2 ni, so tak tahu nak agak mcm mana. tq.

Aramis,
u r welcome :-). Mmng lah I ni chief cook kat rumah ni, klu I takde, semua orang kebuluq, hehehe

Mira,
takpe naik, lepas tu puasa so turunlah balik :-).

Kak Ain,
Alhamdulillah diaorang dah a bit better but Zahra still coughing but dah tak demam and dah boleh makan pizza last nite, hehehe

Nora,
collection kasut u dah macam collection kasut Imelda Marcos tak?

Kak Ita,
best jugak kan sedekah sambil buat promosi ni. Kek I tu ada lagi dlm fridge, takde sape nak makan sbb asik terlupa aje nak keluarkan, hehehe

mrswongjowo,
berat I dah naik to 47.5kg skrg ni, tak se slim dulu dah :-(. But I tak tinggi so mmng lah kena jaga so berat tak naik teruk2, nanti jadi mcm rupa penguin aje. I makan everything tp tak bnyk so maybe itu yg buatkan I tak naik mendadak agaknya...

Frida,
tu lah kan, banyak resipi choc cake skrg ni, semua lebih kurang aje kan, hehehe.
About that virus thing, I tak tau lah knapa sbb tak pernah pulak I dpt that warning and we all memang guna Norton virus protection software. Nanti I tanya my hubby if he knows what's going on ye.
Can you tell me what it says on that virus thing?

Ayu,
Anak2 dah sihat sikit lah, Alhamdulillah. Akak suka guna oven sbb kukusan I kecik cek mek molek aje, mmng tak muat klu nak kukus kek. Kena beli yg besar nya baru lah best nak mengukus :-)

Yat Maria,
I was slightly overweight once and I didn't really like the way I look sbb pakai apa aje nampak mcm tak kena. So I went on a diet and lost quite a lot and now I makan everything yg I nak but in moderation lah :-).

Lady D,
thanks ye sbb sudi baca my blog. I guna cawan plastic yang memang khas utk baking. Kalau you pergi supermarket or any shop yg jual baking stuff, dia gerenti ada jual measuring cups. It comes in 1 cup, 1/2 cup, 1/3 cup and 1/4 cup sizes. Hope this helps sbb I mmng tak tau brapa gram setiap bahan tu, sorry ye...

AuntieJah,
tu lah kan, klu nak makan kek coklat and pizza, mmng kena makan skrg so nanti masa bulan pose, selim melim balik, hehehe

3E,
Comel kan saiz nya? :-). Even Alya kata next time, klu bday dia dia nak saiz comel mcm tu aje, snng dia nak share dgn kawan2 dia,hehehe
