A Triple Celebration

For a last-minute double-birthday celebration over the Chinese New Year festival,Wei whipped up a classic chocolate cake with dark chocolate ganache glaze. Thank goodness, the ingredients for chocolate cake are almost a staple in the pantry. But due to the lack of time, the usual decoration was lacking. 

Not to worry, her resourceful friends grabbed a bunch of crunchy cashew nuts, a Chinese new year goodie, and started to lay them around the cake. Creative eh?! Tasted good too! The savoury nuts added a crunch and enhanced the taste of the chocolate with a bit of saltiness. 

Sounds like we found a new cake flavour! :)

What we made:

• Chocolate whole cake
• Decorated with crunchy cashew nuts and frosted with dark chocolate ganache

Dark Chocolate Brownies

Dark, dense and delicious...

Teeth sinking into luscious, fudgey chocolately goodness...

Can you tell that we have a slight weakness for brownies? :)

Sel made this latest batch of brownies for her New Year's Eve countdown gathering with her friends; it was a hit, especially since she made it with intensely dark chocolate, tonnes of chocolate chips and a handful of toffee bits. She also topped it with chocolate buttercream - although unfortunately the icing turned out to be a tad too sweet!

Happy New Year, everyone! We hope that you'll have a sweet, wonderful and amazing year ahead!
