Ingredients♥ All-purpose flour/ unsalted butter/ unsweetened cocoa powder/ dark chocolate chips/ cold eggs/ granulated sugar/ whipping cream/ raspberries/ icing sugar

Ta-dah! Presenting Chocolate Gateau (Japanese keiki), also known as gâteau au chocolat (ガトーショコラ).
For those who like really dark, rich and dense texture, you would probably find this melt-in-your mouth chocolate cake divine.
A little disappointment as it was not the texture I was looking for as I adore cake with texture that are light, soft and moist. So I guess it really boils down to personal preference. Nevertheless, It was fun baking with YongLing-san!(:

By the way, Christmas is around the corner and among the close friends there will be gift exchange. So a friend asked me for my ideal gift. Couldn't give an answer at that juncture.
After some thought;- I hope for the restoration of lives to the victims of the recent disaster in Philippines. So I feel a meaningful gift to me this year is a donation (any amount) to Singapore Red Cross- Haiyan Relief 2013.
   

God bless.

HAHA pretty! Well the consolation is that the time spent making it is more than eating. And making it is so much fun! :D
