A recipe that sure does what it says on the tin. Yes, it looks like the world’s dullest meal, but I’ve been brought up on this traditional Malaysian food and the recipe I’m telling you has been passed down through 3 generations of my family.

I’ve been looking for a very special chocolate cake recipe for a while – one that actually tastes chocolatey.

This recipe doesn’t use any raising agent surprisingly and comes from The Telegraph from many years ago.
