I came across this recipe through ME's blog and from the moment I saw the recipe, I wanted to try it. This is such an awesome cake and I must say, the most successful so far in all the ones I baked.

The hot and the cold combination would make it wonderful for the dessert 🙂 This is the recipe which I adopted exactly except for halving the ingredients while preparing for we are only two of us to complete it.
