老公说做一半的分量就好了，那就好吧！谢谢他，生病了还要去帮我买鸡蛋。

Ingredients:
2 eggs
120g superfine flour/cake flour
120g sugar ( But I think it's a bit too sweet)
120g butter
50g dark chocolate (I use chocolate bar instead of chocolate powder)
3 tbsp milk
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp vanila extract

Methods:
1. Beat 2 eggs with the sugar.
2. Add vanila extract and baking powder, continue mix for few seconds.
3. Melt the butter (optional), add the butter to the egg mixture, continue stiring
4. Sift the flow over the egg mixture, and gently fold all the ingredients together using a spatula
5. Split the batter, equally into 2 separate bowls.
6. Melt dark chocolate
7. Preheat your oven to 360F/180C
8. Add the melted chocolate to 1 portion of the batter, mix well.
9. Grease and line an 8" (20cm) baking tin. Place blobs of one of the mixtures in the tin, then fill in the gaps with blobs of the other mixture.
10. Use the handle of a spoon to swirl the batter to create the marbling effect.
11. Bake at 180C for 40-45 minutes. Check with a skewer (chopstick) that the cake is cooked and leave to cool for 10 minutes. Remove from the tin and allow to cool completely.

tiramisu.. failed :(

Credit to tiramisu recipe

Ingredients:

1) Whole egg X 3
2) Mascarpone cheese - 500g
3) Vanilla extract - 1 tea spoon
4) Espresso instant coffee powder - 1 full spoon
5) Baileys russian wine - Half bowl
6) Whipping cream - 250ml
7) Pure cocoa powder - 1 full spoon
8) Italian ladyfingers - 1 whole pack
9) 50g white sugar

Methods:

1. Prepare espresso coffee liquid

2. Whisk egg yolk + 25g sugar until the mixture become creamy. Then we add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and whisk again. Add cheese and fold it until a smooth mixture.

3. Whisk whipping cream until the cream become creamy thick and stiff

4. Whisking egg white and the remaining 25g of white sugar until the egg white become fluffy and when you whole your whisk up, the mixture won't fall down back to the bowl

5. Add the egg white and whipping cream back to the cheese and egg yolk mixture

6. Layering

6a. Dip ladyfingers into the espresso coffee, just a touch of coffee at both side of the ladyfingers. Then layer the ladyfingers at the bottom of the glass container 1 by 1. After fill up the bottom with a layer of ladyfingers, add the creamy cheese mixture and make sure it covers up all the ladyfingers.

6b. Then for 2nd layer, repeat the whole process but instead of using espresso coffee, we use Baileys russian wine.

6c. After that repeat the process for the 3rd and 4th layers, until your fill up to the top and make sure the cream cheese mixture cover all the ladyfingers on the most top layer.

7. Put it inside the fridge (Not ice section) for at least 4-6 hours

8. Finishing touch of cocoa powder

The look is ok, but the rum is just too much. The lady finger with too much coffee and rum cause the biscuit no longer crispy and too wet. Anyway the look is just fine. :)

Chocolate Banana Cake

Yeah!! 一次就成功！

Credit to Ellena's recepi !!

Ingredients:
200g All-Purpose Flour(plain flour)
25g Valrhona Cocoa Powder
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Pinch of Salt
170g Unsalted Butter, room temperature
170g Caster Sugar
2 Eggs(55g each)
2 Ripe Banana(about 200 - 220g), mashed
30ml of Fresh Milk
100g Dark Chocolate, chopped

Method:-
1. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a bowl and set aside.
2. Cream soft butter and caster sugar using a electric beater or hand whisk till pale and creamy.
3. Add one egg at a time together with vanilla extract, beat till combined before stirring in the mashed banana and mix well.
4. Using a spatula, fold in sifted flours in 3 batches alternatively with milk till well combined. Lastly stir in the chopped chocolate.
5. Slowly scrap mixture into the lightly greased Happy Call Pan(grease 1 teaspoon of oil on both side of the pan using hand or paper towel).
6. Bake on low heat for 12 minutes, slowly shift the pan towards right side so that left side (1/2 of the HCP) of the pan is on the heat, bake for another 6 minutes. Next shift the pan back towards the left side so that right side(1/2 of the HCP) of the pan is on the heat. (the purpose of doing this is to even out the baking as well as give the cake a nice brown colour on the surface when flip over)
7. Lastly, flip the HCP over and bake for another 6 minutes(3 minutes left, 3 minutes right) to have a nice brown top.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FOR OVEN METHOD:-
1. Follow steps 1 - 4, pour cake batter into a greased 7" square or round tin.
2. Bake in preheated 180° Celsius oven for about 40 - 50 minutes or when a skewer inserted in the center and comes out clean.

And this is my cake!!
