CHOCOLATE PEANUT FUDGE CAKE
Recently was invited to attend Mia's birthday at Puchong, her mother requested if I can baked her a cake. (actully its a belated birthday celebration). As usual the easiest and well received cake will be the chocolate cake especilaly for the little ones. Since I was on the verge of finishing up on the long suffering jar of peanut butter, i thumbed thru my well loved recipe books and wallaaa..found this perfect recipe for cutest MIA.
However, dearie sorry about the decorations , several nepehews were at home and they practically begged their auntie to decorate the cake and I missplet MIA name too..arcgggg... the icing is simply fabolous. To whomever have tried this cake, would appreciate if we can shared on the feedback!
