felt like baking yesterday and when i saw this easy chocolate cake recipe on citrus&candy, i couldnt resist trying it out! i rarely bake chocolate cakes, cos most of them are dense and sweet and rich. i like my cakes light and fluffy! and playing with chocolate can get quite messy... esp when i'm playing with it =.=

to my surprise, the cake turned out really well even when i thought the egg white was beaten too stiffly... like my fav baked cheesecake, the cake bakes to a point of height looking absolutely glorious, but only takes minutes to deflate. but that's the way its meant to be.... you just have to bear the sight of a beautifully baked baby deflating into an ugly shrunken cake. still tastes good tho.

choc baby just came out of the oven - looking tall and proud:
