Chocolate Cake With Chocolate Frosting Recipe

Chocolate Cake With Chocolate Frosting

Not only it taste absolutely delicious but it's cheap & easy to make !!!

Recipe:
Chocolate Cake Ingredients (Serve 7-9) (probably the most easiest cake batter recipe ever made so far !!! And it taste great too !!!)
3 cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup of cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of bicarbonate soda
1 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
250 grams/9oz of butter
1 1/2 cup of milk
3/4 cup of vegetable oil (specifically palm oil or corn oil)
1 cup of hot water
3 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

Chocolate Frosting Ingredients (taste great and use small amount of cream !!!)
350 grams/12oz of cooking chocolate/plain chocolate, broken into pieces
115 grams/4 oz of butter
85 ml/m fl oz of double cream (double cream is whipping cream or cream that has more than 30% fat content )


Method

1) Sift the dry ingredients, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and bicarbonate soda.


2) In a separate and large bowl, stir in sugar and butter until light and creamy. Then, pour in the vegetable oil  , the sifted dry ingredients, milk, hot water, eggs and vanilla essence. Stir the mixture all together.


3) Bake the cake at 180 'C/350 'F for 45 minutes.


4) Let the cake cool for 20-30 minutes. You can also make a layer cake by pouring the same mixture in three separate cake tins. That's what I did ! And results are more than satisfying as you put the frosting in each layer ! Or you can make one big cake or/and cut it in three layers. (To make a cut straight, put the cake in another and larger cake tin or any tin with the height you want to cut and the tin will help you guide the knife in a straight cut.)


5) To make frosting, melt the chocolate and stir in butter and cream. Let it cool and chill in the fridge for couple of hours and then stir it again until it has a frosting consistency or if you want quick results ( and you're lazy like me and time is not on your side) put it in the freezer and wait for about 10-15 minutes but make sure the frosting is not freeze completely ! If you see only the edges of the frosting freeze and the middle part is still in liquid form then take it out and stir it until it achieves the frosting consistency that you want ! Then, cover the cake with the frosting and TA-DA ! A super moist chocolate-y cake with mouth watering chocolate frosting !!!!

The team didn't have abundant knowledge about superheroes from the Golden Age so they didn't suspect anything suspicious but in reality she was human, her real name is Maxine and wears an armor similar to Red Tornado/John Smith so she could hide her identity due to various reasons which I'm not gonna tell 'cause I spoiled too much)

Most of them are Kingdom Come characters, some are existed characters in DC Comics and only two characters I created myself : Dominique "Nique" Gage and Azure/Blue Hood. Made the background white 'cause I think I'm gonna fill in more characters later. I'm also gonna do a guy's version soon until I have a list of characters. It be more helpful if anyone can give me any suggestions and help.

I drew this while listening "Double Vision" over and over again and imagining Damian singing this song while the girls are the back up singers.....

....''Cause there's so many fine women that my head is spinning
And I'm seeing double vision everybody's singing like
Hey na na na hey hey na na na na
Hey na na na hey hey na na na na"

This issue is the must have list for RHATO fans, Starfire Fans and most importantly Jason Todd Fans (since some or mostly of the pages are covered of images of Jason with barely no clothes...Some critics says it's a like a revenge on Issue 1 of Starfire who has barely no clothes on and does so for the male dominance. So, this is an interesting issue for the girls to enjoy). Speaking of revenge, this issue is tells about the beginning of RHATO and how it all started. It takes place 1 month before Issue 1 and answers a lot of questions that we all wondered...All of these pictures is from the internet since I don't have the book itself and finding one in my country (Malaysia) is like finding a needle in a hay stack....

Jason manages to escape (from nuclear explosion from a submarine under the sea and yet not crushed by the high pressure and the nuclear explosion !? Seem unrealistic maybe the helmet keeps him from high pressure but it's clearly broken but whatever...it's a comic anyway....). Jason is saved (but naked) and aided by extraterrestrial technology (which you don't have to be a genius to figure it out who helped him.)           

Jason dreaming of his old past about his days as Robin and Dick Grayson/Nightwing/previous and original Robin. (The Discowing totally annoys me probably as much as I annoyed by one of Dick's baddest fashion moments ....Mullets)

 Starfire began recalling her memories of her past lover Dick Grayson/Robin the first/Nightwing...which states she still remembers him....

Even with his burst of energy, Jason is still weak, tired and weary. He just beat a bunch of bad guys in a submarine full of nuclear stuffs under the sea. Can't blame him...(His tired face looks really adorable)        

Jason finally wakes up and Starfire gives the tour of her spaceship (His introduction just cracks me up...XP)

This page is really hard not to love ! We got a curious and non-stop babbling Jason who's asking a lot of question about Starfire's ship which amazes him since he never encounter and alien before and we got Starfire wearing an absolutely gorgeous short white dress which fits her so good and top up with beautiful tropical flowers on her red hair like a tropical jungle princess. I really like this look on her ! (Which explains why she used to be a fashion model.) 

 Jason surprised by Discowing . For bad fashion ? No, but wondering why Dick's suits end up in Strafire's spaceship...

Starfire explains in such a great and poetic way. Stating that she has wonderful memories of Dick even though she doesn't remember his name but she doesn't wish to throw his clothes away. Which states she still loves him and wish to see him someday. The man she have been with and clothes he wore does not define her and so does Jason too for the clothes he wear.What so great about is that, we always knew Starfire and her story because she was Dick ex-lover and this scenes tells that she is who she is and that what defines her and the man she have been with does not define her existence which obviously what we always define her and thought of her. After that, Jason toys around the ship with alien weapons and thinking Starfire loves Dick as much as he hated Dick. He then started thinking about the things he had done, always finding a way to kill other people and how far he ignore Ducra's teachings. So, he went to talk to Starfire

  He wanted to talk to her about everything about him being Robin, working with Batman, about Dick and all the history of him you could think of but before so, Starfire kisses him. HOLD ON ! Before you jump on the shipping wagon ! She only does because of her alien roots. She can transmit knowledge/also different languages through this. Jason was surprised (no kidding...) but brush it off and return to his smooth manner. That's Jason alright !

This scene also shows how smart and not a bimbo Starfire is. This shows her "guru" side by giving great advice that she appreciate the past but does not live in the past. She tells Jason that some people sees her as a walking nuclear reactor but she releases her powers in good use but the anger that boils in Jason's heart will destroy him if he keeps lock up inside his heart forever. Then, they hug. Which is a real touching moments, I guess but one thing is bugging me is how  does Jason sees himself as a space kitty ???

I'm not sure about this part...Looks like Jason has mixed feelings about the difference between friendship and love-ship....Anyway, after Starfire took a dip in the sea, Jason was going through the internet that Roy Harper will be sentence to death in Qurac. That's when he and Starfire saves Roy's butt by Jason dressing up as a fat priest which was kinda hilarious especially Jason still wears the bottom bit of the android priest. I don't really like Jason's face at the last page...Looks kinda weird and creepy

Last But Not Least Faces Of Jason...

 This totally cracks me up ! He said "Where are my pants ?!" TWICE !

Seems like another episode of Lost....

This is the kind of face he doesn't normally do...

This one is probably my favorite (so far) !!!!! ^_^ 

This is a really great issue not only it's like a slap in the face to the critics to the comics but the fans of RHATO & Jason & Starfire where very happy with the results of the series. So, if you look around other internet reviews of this issue most of them have high marks, points and even full stars from other critics because it was enjoyable to read despite there is nothing spectacular happen like big fighting scenes or etc...but it was great ! Funny ! Entertaining ! So, to my opinion I'll give this issue
