It has been such a long time that i didn't update my post here ...
have a great news to announce here, my chocolate cake had done perfectly last week, it was so so so great. i was about to give up (mind you i have thrown away 5 cakes because of failure) but then Gillian (my housemate aka coursemate) gave me lot of courage to give another try, and finally i have succeed. i even bake one for Michelle, as her birthday cake, and she said it is heavenly, i am so happy ...
i am now trying cookies, as what Ade said, christmas is coming so i should try cookies, and now i am trying, got a recipe from internet, about peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies, i tried it last night, but i couldn't get chocolate chips, so i baked peanut butter cookies. it was good as well, but the size and shape is not even, because i don't have a proper utensil for baking cookies.
i told my friends about my new found hobby, and they all laugh at me, Jacky even said at least it is better than last year (last year hobby was sleeping), arghhhhh ...!!!
ok enough for baking.
am happy also because i passed my pharmaceutical calculation test, which passing mark is 70% and i am lucky enough to score 80% hehe. another OSCE test coming up tomorrow, it's about drug taking history from patient who admitted to the hospital, had been practicing with Gillian just now, i got so nervous even i was practice with her, i know i will get even more nervous tomorrow, hope i can get it through without needed for any resit.
i have another week left for this semester, and off to Portugal (Lisbon and Porto) at the first week of our christmas break. am looking forward to this trip but getting more nervous because after this trip i will have hell lot of stuffs to do and then exam coming up very soon. OMG who can stop the clock for me???
anyway, here is my chocolate cake recipe, you may try if you want to;
my advice: do not try to save money by using cheap flour or cocoa powder, because this will determine whether your cake is good or fail :p
