Glad!

Celebrated teckhong's b'day 2 days ago in Sunway Pyramid. I was the one who planned most of it, and finally the one who got tricked!!!! by mama who told me she was coming back the following weekend T.T so so shocked to suddenly see her emerge from the bottom of the table! the conversation went something like this:-

kaykay: tze hui, when is mama coming back msia again? (she's studying in NUS now)
me: she told me the coming weekend lo...
*suddenly passes her phone to me, with mama on the line*
mama: tze hui!! where are you guys now?
me: at kim gary, sunway lo, why?
mama: i'm also there le!!
me: don't lansok (aka try to say that we have something in common) with me can or not...
mama: *emerges from the bottom of the table* i told you i'm at kim gary what..!!
me: *SHOCKED and grabs beeshuang by the shoulder*

but it was such a glad, glad glad reunion. Thanks mama for coming since you won't be able to make it next weekend which will be officially the last time I see the rest of you guys T.T

Chocolate Temptation
A:
20g chocolate emulco

50g cocoa powder

50g hot water

B:

250g butter

270g castor sugar

2g salt

C:

240g (4nos) egg

D

250g superfine flour

6g (1tsp) baking powder

2g (1/2 tsp) sodium bicarbonate

Choc ganache

150g dairy whipped cream

150g cooking choc

25g butter

25g glucose syrup

1. Combine A and mix well.
2. Beat B until light and fluffy. Add C one at a time and mix well until smooth.
3. Add A to the mixture and blend to form smooth batter.
4. Add sieved ingredients D.
5. Pour batter into 9 inch cake tin (I used 8 inch but it's still ok) . Bake at 180 C 40-45mins. (however, my cake had a HUGE crack on the top after 45 mins and the inside was still quite wet! so my friend suggested I put an aluminum foil on the top throughout the whole process to prevent uneven baking)
6. Cut the cake into 3 layers and spread the ganache on each layer, and also throughout the exterior of the cake.

Okay!! Gotta go sort things out. Pronto =)
