Chocolate Almond Raspberry Cake


just this afternoon, i went to my aunty's house to teach her how to make cheesecake.
and she wanted to make other cakes as well.

so we stopped by the bakery store.. to find.. there's NO MORE CREAM CHEESE .... wtf.. they always run out of stock..
but luckily i still have a 250gm of cream cheese at home ..

and we bought a chocolate sponge cake mix also..

then we made the cheesecake loh..

then there were too much of the chocolate sponge cake mixture, we made 2 of it ...

then i bought back 1.. because if not.. they would have 3 cakes.. and my aunt asked me to bring back one.. mmm..

so.. i brought back.. a chocolate sponge cake with sliced almonds..

i cut it open in half.. and spreaded some raspberry jam in it... then made some chocolate ganache.. and poured on top..

tada.. another new cake.. ;p


with some small simple deco.. tada..
