rgds
Got it..Thanks Lucy :)
hi,
Can i check with u the cake can keep in freezer for hoe many day?
Hi anonymous,
if the cake is in the freezer, it can be kept for months. Guess by that time, it has gone into your stomach.

Hi aunty yochana
I baked this yesterday. I used muffin cups. However it doesn't come out when i invert it. Do you know why? I did grease it.
Many thanks for your help.
shirley,
do not use muffin cups. It will stick to the paper. Use a porcelain or aluminium cups - greased with shortening and it will definitely come out. Perhaps you would like to go to this blog (foodwishes.blogspot.com). He used my photo and in his comments, he also used my recipe. He video it and it's good to see how he did it.... Hope you enjoy.

Hi Aunt Yo
What do u mean by water bath? Is it put a tray of water in a roasting pan right below the rack where I put the ramekins or put ramekins direct in a shallow pan of water?
Hi,
Put the ramekins directly into a pan of hot water.

Dear Aunty,
I tried to make this yesterday but ended up with hard chocolate cake (like kueh) though the taste is still nice.
What do you think is the problem? I halved the amount of all ingredients, and baked at the same temperature and time. How long should I beat the eggs? I only beat them lightly to blend them together (about 1 min).
Hope to hear your advice soon.
Thanks,
JT
Hi JT,
Try taking out from the freezer and let it thaw for about 8 mins. before baking.
rgds
Dear Aunty,
I refrigerated for about an hour before baking. I didn't put them in the freezer. Do I still need to bring them out for about 8 mins before baking?
At the same time, can you pls tell me roughly how long do I need to beat the eggs and sugar?
Sorry for the many questions.
Thanks again.
Regards,
JT
Hi JT,
whisk the eggs till pale in colour and creamy.
Try the freezing method. You freeze it till hard before baking so that the inside will bake slower because it's harden and cold so it will get cooked slower.
rgds
Hi Aunty,
Sigh. The chocolate syrup didn't ooz out again. But it is slightly better than the last attempt. The cake was softer.
This time, I whisked the eggs till pale and creamy. Put them in the freezer and thaw them about 7 mins before baking. I baked at 200C for 15mins.
I am using an electric oven. Baked top and bottom. Can you pls enlighten me what went wrong? Should I bake at 210C for 10-12 mins instead? I halved your recipe and yielded 2 cakes.
Thank you once again.
Regards,
JT
Hi JT,
This is actually a very naughtly cake to do. It's really like waiting for the mountain to explode with lava.
I will try to make it again and see what went wrong with yours.
rgds
Thanks Aunty.
Pls make it soon so that I can try to make a successful Warm Chocolate Cake soon! :P
I look forward to your reply. Thanks again! :)

JT
Yochana, where did you get this recipe from? My great-grandmother used to make this for us. It was called "calli's cocoa cake'. The recipe's been handed down for generations.
Hi rico,
wow...din know it's such an old recipe tho..
I forgot where I got this recipe from.
rgds
Hi Yochana
I wanna try this too.. so the chocolate is used bittersweet chocolate too?
sl
Yes sl,
it's bitter sweet chocolate too. Try the brand Varlhorna . I know it's costly but worth it. Or use Carma chocolate.
rgds.
Hi Yochana
where can get the brand that u mention? supermarket have? or have to get from bakery shop?
Hi anonymous,
You can get it from Sun Lik at 33, Seah Street,
rgds.
Hi Eileen,
What's the different between cake flour and self rising flour? Is it possible to use self rising flour in this recipe?
Janis
Hi Janis,
Self raising flour has added baking agents incorporated into the flour while cake flour does not and you have to add in your own baking powder, etc.
rgds
where can i get cake flour?
or do i have to make my own
Hi anonymous,
you can get cake flour from supermarkets. All-purpose flour can be used for making cakes.
rgds
Hi Aunty Yo,
sorry to keep asking u qns..
can i chk w you wats the different between all purpose flour and plain flour?? is it the same??
HI jen jen,
they are both the same.
rgds
hi aunty,
just to check with you is it possible to half the recipes? will it affect the result? and also for your chocolate macaroons can i half them too ( n hw many sets macaroons if the original receipes?)
hope to hear from you soon
elis
hi elis,
for macarons, if your egg white is too little, it's very hard to beat it up.
rgds

elis
hi,
For this recipe can i use plain flour instead of the cake flour? will the taste get affected.
Hi,
yes you can use plain flour instead. No it will not affect the taste.

Hi aunty yochana
I followed the recipe measurements exactly but the batter turns out very watery even after i added in the flour+cocoa powder.Could it be that my butter+chocolate was melted in the oven till the butter was fully melted (watery state)? Does it matter if the batter is watery or does it need to be thick?Would it affect the cake?
Please advise.
Hi aunty yochana
I have followed the measurements exactly as stated.
My batter turned out the be very watery even after i mix in the flour+cocoa powder. Could the reason be because that my butter+chocolate was melted in the microwave till the butter was fully dissolved (very watery state)? is there a difference between watery batter and a thick one? Would it affect the outcome of the cake? What could have lead to the batter becoming watery?
Please advise.
Thank you.
Hi lizzie,
I used microwave oven too.. and the batter is supposed to be watery.
rgds
Hi aunty yochana,
i baked the watery batter and after 15mins, it is still gooey, not cake like at all! I really don't know what went wrong. please advise!
Hi aunty,
what size is your cup mould when you do this warm chocolate cake? i used a very small one, about 6cm in diameter and height 2cm. Izzit too small? coz i didn't manage to get the flowy effect.
M.I.L.U
hi aunty,
i hope that you can reply me as soon as possible because i want to try doing it for my family again.
Thanks,
M.I.L.U
hi M.I.L.U
I used muffin size cups and just don't overbake the cake then you will have a flowy effect.
rgds
Hi Aunty Yo,
Would like to check with you which tray should we bake after taking out from the fridge? Upper tray, center tray or lower tray.
TIA
Hi Esther,
use center tray will do.
rgds
Hi aunty Yochana,
About how long do I need to put in the freezer?
Hope to hear from you soon!(:
