MOIST CHOCOLATE CAKE

      


                                                         MOIST CHOCOLATE CAKE 




   




Growing up, I knew cakes were only for  special occasions  like weddings🤣 a few lucky people  could  afford them on birthdays.. that is me excluded. I remember one time i had to  cry  just so my mum could get me one for my birthday ( the feeling of her fulfilling her promise was heavenly,,the whole neighborhood celebrated that day🤗 I even thank God I cried because if not.. I would still be waiting for my birthday cake till now.

I'm glad at how things change.. though not  for everybody.Just like chapati, cakes too can be bought for as low as 20ksh...... See God 🙏

Today let's try making this  chocolate moist cake

                                   Prep time 10mins
