Mocha Delight Cake - adapted from The Australian Women's Weekly Cookbook

Before,I always thought that baking a cake was a hard thing to do.There were so many do's and don'ts I never dared to even try.

But now I've found so many easy cake recipes that I'm really getting carried away with baking lately.Huhuhu..

This is another cake recipe that I tried today.Half was for Salman who returned back to his hostel this evening.

I didn't put any toppings coz it was still warm when I had to cut it for Salman.

Just out of the oven
