3 . Is this your first time making a chocolate cake? Or have you made a chocolate cake before? (Minimum 100 words) ✔️(1 Mark)✔️
I have watched people make different cake but I have never taken it serious to make it by myself, this is my first time making chocolate cake. During this practical I made mistake in the first one and I discovered my mistake immediately, I noticed that my butter and Eggs was not enough then the flour was much it gave me a powering outcome , when I now followed the quantities of ingredients showed in class I got it right and I was very happy. If you taste this cake you can't believe it was my first experience it came out yummy and delicious. I promise to continue this cake making even after now.
4 . Explain the importance of the cocoa powder/chocolate powder used in the cake. Also, why do you use less cocoa powder than flour? ✔️(3 Mark)✔️
Speaking from my experience today the Cocoa powder made the cake attractive.
Cocoa have good nutritional value, therefore adding it in the cake makes it healthy.
Cocoa powder makes the cake to taste like chocolate.
It helps the cake to be smoother.
Why I used less cocoa powder because it can make the cake to be dry.
If more Cocoa powder is used it will result to adjustment of ingredients at the end of the moisture
Cocoa powder is dry and can absorb more than flour.

This is credibly amazing, and I'm glad I came early to witness the process you took on preparing this yummy chocolate cake. I will try to follow this process when my recipe is complete. Thanks for sharing your delicious cake with me and the drink we used to step it down.
Your post is really amazing. You have beautifully shared your experience of making a chocolate cake for the first time and the method you learned. The way you measured the ingredients and made the cake, it seems like you have learned the entire process well. The confidence you gained in making a perfect cake even if you made a mistake at first is really admirable.
Your explanation about the use of cocoa powder was very relevant and thorough. You have beautifully highlighted how cocoa powder affects the texture and taste of the cake. The information you provided while explaining why cocoa powder should be used in less quantity is especially important.
Also, the result of your cake looks like it is really delicious! The moment of enjoying the cake with your sister @ann28 seems very fun and enjoyable.
