Auntie Yo
good day. I am planning to bake this choc cake to surprise my hubby on his bday next Wed. But what brand of 'bittersweet choc' did you use and where can I buy them? Is it in powder form? Also, how did you manage to remove the cake from the pan so nicely? How to add the lines pattern to the sides of the cake? Can you advise as I'm new to baking. Thanks!
Hi ashley's mummy and daddy,
I used a comb scrapper to get the lines on the side. Most baking utensil shops sell this. As for the removal of cake from the tin. After removing cake from the oven, leave it on the table for at least 5 mins , loosen the side with a knife and then turn it over onto a cooling rack.
Chocolates comes in many forms. Blocks, button or chips. Anyone will still melt. It's just the quality that yields a good flavour cake. Try Varlhorna if it's not too expensive to splash on your cake or for a cheaper good chocolate, try Carma from sun lik. Mrs. Wong sells carma.

Dear Aunty
Can I use Walnut instead of Hazelnut here? Do I really have to use orange zest? Can I opt it out?
Thanks,
Janice
Hi janice,
You can change to your desire but don't change the flour , eggs and sugar.
