Black Magic Chocolate Cake

Assalamualaikum dan Salam Sejahtera semua. Cuti2 ni asyik buat kek je, maklumlah tak ke mana2 tunggu je saudara mara datang rumah. Bila hari minggu ni mestilah ada menu kek, tapi buat kek yg ringkas dan semestinya sedaplah. Kali ni saya buat kek coklat yg mudah dan boleh tunjuk cara membuatnya pada adik masa datang rumah tempohari. Sambil makan dapatlah belajar buat sekali...mudahkan. Jom kita tngk resepi yg mudah ni, pasni bolehlah adik2 diluar sana mencubanya, tak perlu guna mixer segala..cuma godek2 pastu bakar..mudahkan. Terima kasih pada penyumbang resepi, juga buat Yat Maria, MamaSya dan Ayu. Kalau kawan2 rajin tu, bolehlah letak topping kat kek tu.
