Devil's Food Chocolate Cake


ASSALAMUALAIKUM...

Fuh... ganaz.. ganaz nama kek cekelat ni. Taaaaaaaaapiiiiiiiiiiii punya la sedap! Memang hingga menjilat jari dan lelehan topping2 dia tu.. Ngam sungguh bila ada creamcheese frosting dan ganache bergabung dgn kek cekelat. Kalau tak caya, buat sendiri tau dan nikmati kek ni terutamanya selepas dah bermalam dlm esbok. Syok abes!!


Resipi DEVIL'S FOOD CHOCOLATE CAKE Devil's Food Chocolate Cake ni K.Nor ambil kat rumah Ayu S'pore dan dia dpt dr blogger lain kalau tak silap K.Nor. Ada terbaca yg Ayu mention kat situ kek tu rendah jer. So lain kali dia nak doublekan adunan kek tu. K.Nor buat kek ni 2 kali tau. Mula2 buat satu adunan jer, menggunakan loyang sq 8" x 8" dan hasilnya mmg rendah dan dpt sikit jer. Pastu mula la rasa tak cukup jer kalau kek kecik gitu, nanti tak puas makan. Pastu godek lagi 2 adunan terus tp yg silapnya K.Nor gi guna loyang yg sama saiz gak. Dan terhasil lah kek yg spt dlm gambo kat atas. Rasa cam terlebih tinggi la pulak. Lain kali K.Nor nak guna loyang 9" x 9" la, rasanya lebih ngam dgn 2 adunan kek tu. Untuk 2 bj kek yg terhasil ni K.Nor buat 3/4 dr adunan topping dr resipi tu tp masih ada baki lagi, tapi dah simpan dlm esbok. Boleh digunakan utk projek lain lak kut.

Kalau sapa2 nak buat tu, utk satu adunan kek disarankan buat 1/2 jer dr adunan topping (ni pun saranan Ayu). Ok la jom kita tengok resipi kek mabeles ni. Mintak izin ya Ayu, nak share resipi kek tu kat sini pulak.. TQ

Kek yg terhasil dr satu adunan, tingginya lebih kurang 1in jer.
K.Nor dah potongkan kek tu dan masukkan dlm bekas kaca ni.
