I love to bake and I love baking recipes shared by chef Arshad. He is one of my favorite chefs now. I tried many of his recipes and the result is always superb. I can bake super moist cakes and cupcakes but I am not good in icing. My icing tastes great but it never comes out neat so following recipe is perfect but please ignore my uneven icing, I need lots of practice and maybe one day I will master the art of icing. This chocolate heaven cake is made by chef Arshad on Shireen Anwar show at masala TV.
