Super Moist Choc Cake for a Super Buddy

This is my polymate cum friend, Ah Qua. Hahaha... He's always hanging around us girls, that kinda makes him part of the girl group. And he neva minds that I gave him the nick, because he's really good at acting one! As you know, I'm still not a good enough baker to make a cake so I bought Betty Crocker's Super Moist Devil's Food.




I didn't want the flour to fly around the kitchen, so I sorta lightly mix the flour with the wet ingredients just enough for the mixer to continue its job.



I was careful not to over-beat the eggs in the mixture. I didn't want to end up with a flat cake



For such a special buddy like him, I used a heart-shape pan.



Boy was I was excited and relieved when the 1st layer rose pretty well!





The batter was enough to bake 3 layers. This 3rd layer had a line, not crack, in the middle.
I didn't give the pan a good tap on the table before I put it in the oven. I thought it would auto seal once it starts baking. Well, lucky Pig. He got to eat it later!



I put the the frosting, which was left from the last cake I baked for my colleagues.



I delivered the very next day to his workplace and surprised him. He shared it with his collegues during tea break. Hope he liked it.
