A Gift of Appreciation: Chocolate Moist Cake

This is how I am going to express my appreciation to the neighbor who lets me use his internet for three days. I cannot think of anything, so I managed to bake a simple chocolate moist cake for him and his family. In this way, I can still borrow their internet service if my internet goes crazy again. I hope they will like it. Despite my time constraints, I tried to squeeze my time into doing this at home. By the way, I just steamed it because I do not have an oven at home. What do you think? Are you good at baking?

I bet the neighbor will like that. It looks tasty. I guess I am about average in baking.

I hope so. I just gave it to his wife. To her surprise, she was quite overwhelmed by such a gesture. I am still not good at baking. In time, it will.

@snowy22315 I agree with you. As they said, "Actions speak louder than words."

What a nice gesture - and the cake looks great! I think I can bake decently, but I don't bake desserts very often these days.

I am also trying to control myself not to cook any desserts lately. My niece has a sweet tooth, and I do not want her to acquire diabetes mellitus. But I usually make it once a week. Hopefully, they will appreciate this kind of gesture of mine.

@Shavkat I understand. Moderation is the key, as they say. Hope your neighbors enjoyed it!

@RebeccasFarm I hope I can. I think it is a good idea to put them in a book. What do you think?

It does look yummy. I even wanted to have a bite, but it needs to be given to our kind-hearted neighbor.

Since I am not an expert in baking yet, I continue to explore the possibilities of using other ways of baking. I also think that they are good neighbors.

I do agree with that. I tried to make it with the help of the YouTube. I was able to make it. I think they are lucky to have a neighbor like us.

My niece wants a slice of it, but I will just make it again soon. I must say that it is a good one. I do hope we have the same taste as the neighbor.

I am not also an expert of doing so, Doctor Neil. I did also leche flan for a couple of times now. I am just a beginner in baking.

By just the look of the wife, she seems happy to see the simple cake being offered.
