The Story of Orked's Dark Chocolate Mud Cake

I am a huge fan of dark chocolates and loves to indulge myself with chocolate cakes. My first taste of a rich, indulging chocolate cake was a Polo Club's Chocolate Cake. I didn't get the actual name of the cake because it was a Hari Raya gift from my aunt, Datin Hjh Rosnah, (who happens to be a fanatic dark chocolate fan too) the wife of my uncle, Dato Paduka Hj Abd Rahman Hj Mohiddin. The cake was totally fabulous and really satisfying my chocolate craves. So, I made an effort to do a research on every chocolate cookbooks I have on my shelf and found a recipe, which I thought would have a really chocolatey outcome. And it totally is! It is so rich and chocolatey that my family loved it a lot as well as everybody. It has been an all time favourite and since then, I never failed to make one (or more) every year for serving during my Hari Raya open house. My first attempt on making the cake was a complete success.
