Jamie Oliver's Chocolate Cake

Salam..apa khabar semua? cik jah cik senah tengah buat apa tu???? (nada chef wannnnn). dua tiga hari lepas, bukak je tv nampak abang jamie ku tersayang baru nak buat kek coklat.disebabkan atas riba ada laptop, tak  sempat capai pen dan kertas, terus taip dalam notepad. senang gituu..kek ni dah penah buat dua kali minggu nih (disebabkan permintaan ramai..chewahh...bukan jual pung!), so first time guna coklat cap meriah.coklat masakan biasa2. malam tadi buat pakai chocolate chip hershey.

mesti tertanya-tanya kan, yang mana satu lagi best? jawapannya ialah coklat masakan meriah yang harganya separuh dari hershey.tak tahu naper..probably chocolate chip tu lama duduk dalam peti, bila masak tak cair2..maksud aku, campur dengan adunan kek, bakar sekali. masa buat chocolate sauce pun kurang menjadi.pakai coklat masakan meriah, orait jer..kek tu macam2 kaler coklat jadinye. ada coklat gelap, ada coklat terang.

hokeyyy..ini resipinya...

[English version]

Hello there! How have you guys been doing? Few days ago, I turned the channel TLC on and saw Jamie Oliver preparing to bake a chocolate cake. Since I didn't have a pen and paper in my hand, I typed the recipe in my laptop, as fast as I can cause uh...we all know how Jamie talks! I did this cake twice before posting [cause everyone asks for a second helping!]. The first time, I used Meriah baking chocolate. Just a simple, cheap option of chocolate in the market and the second time, I used Hershey's chocolate chips.

One must wonder, which one works better? Surprisingly, the cheap chocolate which price is half of that Hershey's. Probably because I left the chocolate chip in the fridge for weeks, or maybe because the cooking chocolate IS cooking chocolate, therefore it did what it had to do. The Meriah chocolate makes the cake turned into several palettes of chocolates - dark, medium, light. It was awesome!

Here's the recipe!

200gm butter

200gm sugar

200gm self-raising flour

• add eggs one by one while beating
