Dark moist chocolate cake

This afternoon, as requested by my big sis here in Finland, I baked my signature dark moist chocolate cake, which is also everybody’s favorite.

Guess who were my self-appointed helpers? My cute nephew four-year-old R-jed and his elder sister Anzel, seven. My 1st assistant, the little boy, did the stirring of the ingredients while my 2nd assistant was his alternate. “R-jed’s turn”, then “Anzel’s turn”…and stayed with me up to the end. And how did they get their being first and second? By R-jed’s choice, as agreed by his kind “ate” (the Filipino address of respect for an elder sister). When my cutie sis asked R-jed why he should be the first assistant, he replied: “because it makes me happy”.

Shown below is what’s now left of the cake. 🙂
