Those who follow this blog long enough would have noticed that I seldom bake. It is well known in my household that Daddy cooks and Mummy bakes. But for our recent Valentine's Day dinner, I decided to bake something simple for my family.
If an inexperienced baker like me could manage this, I'm sure this recipe is simple enough for everyone. Try it! Thank you Nami for the lovely recipe!

DeleteWhat a lovely Gâteau au Chocolat. I've always enjoy Nami's recipes and I haven't get a chance to bake this yet. :) Definitely on my to bake list. ;) How sweet that you bake for your family on V-day. That is definitely a nice way to show love, especially when you usually don't bake.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy! You should add this to your bake list!
DeleteIf my husband like half of you is enough, hehehe.. Valentine day is a normal day for me, too bad huh.. Ya, saw this rich cake in Nami there, wish I can try out very soon..
ReplyDeleteHi Sonia! I'm sure your hubby has other attributes that I don't. :D
DeleteEverytime I see your posts I have renewed faith in finding a guy that can cook haha. That was such a sweet gesture for vday, your family's really lucky! And for someone who doesn't usually bake, that's hell amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Shu Han! Cast your net wide!
DeleteI'm so happy to find out that you really baked this cake! Thank you so much for making and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it as well. Your children are so lucky to have a fantastic baker mom and great chef dad (and now baker!). :) The cake looks so beautiful!!!! Thank you for liking back to me!
ReplyDeleteHi Nami! I have definitely gained some confidence after this attempt. Thanks for your fantastic recipe!
DeleteAs a female, I'm really bad at baking. I can cook but bake.. not something up my alley! Hey I'll be in singapore the following week. Any interesting restaurants to introduce. I'm ok with any food genre.
ReplyDeleteHi Eiling! Lots of recommendation! How many days and what kind of food? Drop me an email - chefnsommelier@gmail.com
DeleteHi Alvin,
ReplyDeleteYou are a fantastic baker! The cake looks chocolaty good with perfect texture! I'm drooling just looking at it!
Thanks Joyce! I still have way to go and lots to learn as far as baking is concerned.
DeleteYou hardly bake, I hardly cook. Thus why I am really enjoying this post. :)
ReplyDeleteNice one, Erika! :D
