Pure indulgence !!!
For those who are interested, I got the recipe from this site it's in Japanese btw. I was lucky to have found it translated at one site that I was surfing but unfortunately cannot remember which one :-( Please use good quality chocolates and for the cocoa powder, use dutch processed ones.
Ingredients:
195g dark chocolate (I used valrhona 50% cocoa but best is with 70%)
100ml fresh cream
1 Tbsp honey (if you are not using anything more than 70%, you can cut down the honey a little bit if you prefer slightly bitter taste)
enough cocoa powder to coat the chocolates later
Method:
1. Chop the chocolate into small pieces
2. Place cream and honey in a pot and heat it up. Turn off the flame the moment it boils
3. Add the chopped chocolate into the warm mixture and stir till the chocolate and cream are combined (it should look like ganache)
4. Lay baking paper on a tray (covering the sides too), then pour the mixture into it
5. Place it in the fridge for about 2 hours or until firm
6. Remove the hardened chocolate from the baking tray and chop them into cubes with a warm knife blade
7. Coat them generously with the cocoa powder and serve it chilled

great stuff.I got this link from Auntie Yochana's blog.
tried your sponge cake recipe. my dad commented that it was spongy and to his liking. Ate 2 pieces at one go. A definite must keep. Thank Zu.
I too have been looking around for the perfect sponge cake recipe and this is PERFECT. Love the milk powder taste. I replaced 10 gms of flour with milk powder to make it 20 gms in total and it is really a sponge cake to die for. Cheers.

Hi AG,
You can buy off the shelf from Sun Lik, Shermay or Kitchencapers. You won't be able to get them from supermarket.

Hello, can i use Bulla Thickened Cream in replace of Fresh Cream? Are they the same? And if it must be Fresh Cream, which brand is good for making this recipe? Thanks.
Hi anonymous,
If I am not wrong Bulla thickened cream contains gelatine .. I would recommend you to get regular cream. Bulla has pure cream or you can also use emborg or president brands.
