Battle of the Devil and the Mud!

You can never go wrong with chocolate cakes! The more chocolate it contains, the more you desire it..

I've been tweaking some old chocolate cake recipes recently and found the one I liked better than my chocolate butter cake. It's texture is so moist and a little springy. Just a little but not as springy as sponge cake. Well, just about there but not there. You know what I mean? And yet, it's full of chocolatey goodness.. What cake comes to mind? The Devil's Food Cake, of course!


It's just yummy. Topped with fudge frosting that has a tinge of sour cream, it's so divine!


And then on to find a denser version of the devilish indulgence - the Chocolate Mud Cake! It is one that is full of chocolate madness in it..


..and topped with the right frosting, it's even more heavenly!


 The type of frosting that goes in and on your cakes depend on not just what suits the cake, but what suits you, too! If you're crazy into chocolate, then thick chocolate ganache would be perfect. Otherwise, a lighter version, the fudge frosting, does wonders, too!


Now, who do you think will win the battle? Let me go indulge myself in that last few bites of my chocolate cake while you drool.. Enjoy!

Fluffy Omelette

This morning, I woke up with one thought in my head : Eggs!

It's been awhile since I had eggs for breakfast. I used to have eggs regularly.. well, more than regularly, sometimes. I can have it for breakfast, lunch AND dinner! Be it fried or scrambled, with tomato ketchup or chili sauce..

But this morning, my mind was thinking something else. I miss grabbing my breakfast takeaways from BK on my way to work. Specifically, BK's 'Enormous Omelet Sandwich'! Yeah I know.. it's huge and will normally last me for breakfast and my mid-morning snacktime.

It's a great start to the day when you can find all the ingredients you need for what you're going to be making. So what did I dig out? Chicken Ham, Mozarella cheese, Dill, and milk. And voila!


It's very simple and easy. If only I can eat this everyday.. In case you don't have all of the ingredients, just pull out what you do have. There's no hard and fast rules to having your own meal, your way! Enjoy!


Ingredients
2 tbsp butter, for frying
3 eggs
2 1/2 tbsp milk
2 slices chicken ham, cubed
a handful of Mozarella cheese
ground black pepper (optional)
tomato ketchup / chili sauce (optional)


Method
1) Beat the eggs in a bowl. Stir in the milk and dill.
2) Heat a saucepan and roll the butter around in it till the whole surface has been greased.
3) Pour the egg batter into the saucepan and let sit for 2 minutes.
4) With a rubber spatula, tilt the omelette so that the uncooked eggs spreads to the bottom of it. Let sit for 30 seconds.
5) Sprinkle the chicken ham and mozarella on half of the omelette and flip the other half on to it so that it covers the fillings.
6) Let sit for 30 seconds and serve onto your plate. Do not let it sir for too long as this will dry out and brown the omelette.
7) Sprinkle with ground black pepper and ketchup or chili to taste.

It's ready!

I prefer Chili Garlic sauce as it adds a little flavor to it without overwhelming the taste. You don't have to add salt to the egg batter as the chicken ham already has enough to go around. Enjoy!
