Moist Chocolate Cake

Hello,

I love chocolate but I don't really into chocolate cake very much. I like to baked and make chocolate cake, chocolate brownies or any recipe with chocolate. Even sometimes I don't eat much a cake that I've made as long as people around me happy with the tastes, then I'm happy too.

I got this moist chocolate cake recipe from one of Malaysian food blogger, Azlita masam manis. This cake comes out beautifully moist and soft. These cake was great and tasty even without the ganache, but I prefer to put the chocolate ganache on it. All the recipes I have tried from her blog so far turned out great and there are still many recipes that I wanna try in the future.
