My First Ever Chocolate Moist Cake

I can feel you. Before the cake will be eaten fully, I decided to take a photo. It is the first time to happened and will be reminded for having the first baking in the house.

@JudyEv Thank you.

@Shavkat That's great that you made a cake and it turned out a success.

@Shavkat Yes and at times in adverse conditions and without support from Management (in official cases).

@Shavkat They support quick fix formulas within their "budgets". If we recommend radical measures that could mean no immediate returns but good returns after investing and in medium to longer term, they back out. Then they start blaming the employees for not being Innovative, Independent and so on. In some ways, own business and freelancing are better but then not everyone can do it instantly. Plus not everyone can start doing that at anytime. It's a bitter truth. But well, that's how things are.

I am glad that you are also learning new things. We are in the modern world. So, we need to cope up with the new things.

@Shavkat Awesome! You did good then!!

It was good. The taste of the cake is like one of the cakes being served in a restaurant here in my country.

@kareng Thank you

@Shavkat Woohoo that is always nice. I should try getting back to trying to bake also. Enjoy!

At first, I also thought that baking is not for me to do. But then, when I had seen a link about it. I just follow the steps and here is the product. I am planning to try another one next week.

In my country, we have not tried to eat the leaves. But we eat the taps of some veggies, like sayote taps, sweet potato taps, etc.

@Shavkat I'm not sure what you mean.

@sallypup I mean we only eat the young leaves of certain creeping vegetables, like the pumpkin and the like. Image Credit: agraryo.com/wp-content

It is ideal to use an oven for this one. I just used baking powder with the mixture of chocolate cookies. Then, I put in a can of evaporated milk. I only followed the way it was baked on a link that I found yesterday.

@RubyHawk Yes, it is.

@Shavkat Oh, so it isn’t a cake recipe, it’s made from cookies. That’s interesting.

Speaking of Christmas, I am planning and it will be served with the family and relatives. At least, I do not need to overspend with this concern.

It sounds interesting. Uhm, I want to try to do that, too. I do love some Japanese dishes. I did not know that there is Japanese cake. Can I ask the name of the prefecture known for?

@Shavkat My dad was from the south . . . Kagoshima. It is country-ish, so I imagine the food is not part of popular culture. The family called the cake "soda-gashi" (because of the baking soda), but I cannot find a recipe online with that name. There is another white one called karukan from his perfecture . . . made with a particular yam.

@Shavkat I do a lot of steaming with other goodies but never a cake.

I hope I could be a good one. As a newbie in baking, I must say that it cutdown my budget for buying commercialized one. You can try steaming it. It was a fun thing for me to do.

I agree. I always brush off the idea of doing this. When I had checked some recipes for baking, I realized that it is possible to bake without an oven. I was challenged because one of my cousins does not want to teach me, so I did my own research. This is the fruitful one project of mine in the kitchen.

@LadyDuck I agree. I also check some from time to time lately.

@Shavkat I always look at YouTube videos for food recipes, it's a great source.

I thought it is a flop one. Then, I just need to be patient when doing it. I am glad that it turned out good. At first, I am quite hesitant but pushed mysrlf to do it. It is a good thing that I did it.

I am trying to improve myself lately. I hope you can share some of your baking recipes here.

@just4him No worries.

@Shavkat The recipes I make are copyrighted so I can't share them.

YouTube is my teacher when it comes to this baking thing. I am planning to try baking using the pressure cooker next time. I hope I can still attain the consistency of this cake by doing it.

@aninditasen Wow! It is one of my favorite meals. I would like to try to cook it soon.

@Shavkat I learned the Italian quesdilla from YouTube.

I think we can bake some without using an oven. That is what I did with this cake.

@Shavkat Yes, I think can bake using an air fryer

@freelancermariagrace I think it is better. But I do not have it. I am trying the traditional way. The best way to learn it and progress to other ways. Besides, I am an old-school in doing so.

In my house, we never had an oven. I try to bake without it for now. It would be the next level if I am going to use an oven. For now, I am not ready for this idea as a beginner.

I thought it was a failed attempt of doing it. Luckily, I was a success one. Thank you.

That would be nice for having the pre-mix packages. I have not tried it yet. Perhaps in the coming days, I might do it.

You said it right. It did not last for two days.

Actually, the whole cake was gone on the same day of baking. The rest of the family members had some, and they loved it. It means I did the right thing by baking the moist chocolate cake. It tasted heavenly. You should try baking it, too.

I had seen some Chinese dishes and am planning to try cooking them. The one you had mentioned is new to me. I will try to check it if it is similar to egg pie.
