Rich Chocolate Moist Cake, contribution from Noor Hannah





Rich Chocolate Moist Cake the name of the recipe says it all. Many thanks to Sis Noor Hannah who have gladly allowed me to post this recipe here. This recipe has been posted earlier at Cari.com, Food and Recipes and many have taken their shots at making it. Conclusion, if you love chocolate cake that is moist and sinfully chocolate… then you should try this.

You can either bake or steam this cake. Steaming this
cake will give you a much more moist cake. I did make this cake sometime back and it's really set the mark of a rich moist chocolate cake. Here's the recipe…

This is the cake which I used plain flour and steam it for 1 1/2 hour. After the cake has completely cooled down, I slice it up into two layers and used Misleha Style Chocolate Topping as its filling and to decorate the cake. Here's the recipe for the topping.
