For the past week my husband & I both have been unwell - fever, sore throat, myalgia, flu.. and poor appetite.. although we are not yet fully recover, we are much better now.. Alhamdulillah..
For the past few days we have been eating porridge, soup, and then porridge again.. and then porridge & soup.. and soup again;p hehe.. and only yesterday I cooked something other than porridge & soup..
As my appetite is recovering, I just felt like eating a delicious moist chocolate cake with delicious chocolate toppings.. *drooling*.. as it is not easy to find a halal & nice choc cake here, the only viable quick solution was to make it myself.. so, my quest for a nice recipe begun.. but I didn't spent much time hunting for a recipe merely because my appetite said we must make the cake ASAP! (I remember the time I had dengue fever, once my appetite was back, I was really, really hungry for rice, like I have been starving for a month! - no joke)..
The recipe that I tried yesterday was the famous moist choc cake by Bebop.. you can just google the name, and you'll find the recipe easily.. the cake was supposed to be steamed but my steamer isn't big enough.. so I baked instead using waterbath technique.. the cake turned out fine.. a bit too muddy for me though.. maybe I wasn't following the instructions properly.. but it was ok and it was an easy cake to make.. and more importantly, my stomach is happy! burpp.. Alhamdulillah:)
