Hence, I have little motivation to bake any chocolaty items such as cakes. I find them too rich for me. The same goes for Yang. In recent years, I tend to go for light, fruity flavours, \u2019spice-y\u2019 or even savoury foods.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are 2 chocolaty items which I don\u2019t mind baking: 1) brownies and 2) chocolate muffins. Today, I tried baking brownies using a recipe which makes them really moist and gluey on the inside. They turned out marvelous. The recipe is taken from <a title=\"Brownies Recipe\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dianasdesserts.com\/index.cfm\/fuseaction\/recipes.recipeListing\/filter\/dianas\/recipeID\/1136\/Recipe.cfm\" target=\"_blank\">Diana\u2019s Desserts<\/a>. I followed everything right down to the T except for substituting the bitter-sweet chocolate with semi-sweet dark cooking chocolate, and reducing the sugar content to 75%. In addition, I also halved the ingredients and size of baking pan as I would have problem finishing all the brownies on my own!<\/p>\n<p>The method is really simple if you have done basic baking before. Have a go at it if you\u2019re a chocolate fan. <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-smiley\" src=\"https:\/\/chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_smile.gif\" alt=\":)\" \/> Try eating warm brownies with vanilla ice cream. It\u2019s awesome. <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-smiley\" src=\"https:\/\/chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I used to enjoy chocolates in my younger days until a few years ago.
