Chocolate Moist Cake

Cake baked during culinary class

It was during our 1st day in culinary class at USC Girls High that we baked this cake. On that day we cooked about 5 dishes that was distributed to each member, i can't remember who were incharge of the cake but each one of us helped on the preparation, from sifting to mixing and stirring. After four hours of scrumbling (kay di pa kabalo magluto) and getting things mixed up, we survived cooking, good thing that all the foods we prepared tasted good. We had a feast right after class coz we ate all the foods we cooked, leaving the cake for snacks since we're too full to eat.

That afternoon I brought my part of the cake to Bacolod and gave it to my mama and papa for pasalubong (kay wala ko lain na pasalubong =). We never minded the cake during lunch but i was surprised when mama and papa told me that it was delicious, i took a small bite and yes, it was. Even my group mates in culinary shared the same surprise, we cooked a very delicious cake. =)

The next time i went home to Bacolod, i baked cakes for all of them, one on New Year's Eve and one before i went back to Cebu. When i ran out of ingredients for the 2nd cake, i experimented on it, instead of using filled milk for the cake i used baby's powdered milk which is tasteless and changed the washed sugar to brown sugar. The result according to them (kay nagbalik nako sa cebu), the cake was more tasty and the frosting was more creamy and chocolaity, much more delicious than the first one.
