Chocolate Cake Essay

[Writer Name] [Supervisor Name] [Subject] [Date] How to make a Chocolate Cake For the real chocoholics, just thinking about chocolate can evoke a pleasurable response. But it is not only chocolate that chocoholics desire; they want chocolate chip cookies, brownies and of course, chocolate cakes. But chocolates or chocolate cakes are not meant only for the chocoholics. Nor are these cakes meant only for occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, or Christmas. One may get a chocolate cake from any place and at any time she wants, but the pleasure of eating a self made chocolate cake is unexplainable. And to present your loved ones with your own made chocolate cake is like gifting them with personalized gold or even beyond that. But one needs to be rightly equipped and fairly trained for this.

She also told that instead of the buttermilk, some people prefer to use sour cream. Sarah said that she experiments with the icings all the time, and it is not necessary that one should use only that icing which is written in the recipe. The strange thing about this cake was that not only it was rich, it was light too. Having this cake once in a blue moon could be a good option for the weight-watchers, since it is not that sugary; but it is surely very delicious, a true taste-buds spoiler. Sarah also mentioned that for those who like more sweetness, she suggests it is appropriate to add half cup more of sugar, so the sweet lovers are not deprived of this marvelous delight.
