*   *   *

Here is the recipe for Ming Ming's chocolate cake,

as requested by Susan
of
 My Mother's Apron Strings.

I thought I would post it exactly as I received it...

A：糖粉+鸡蛋+搅拌+打发+低筋面粉+搅拌（手动）+可可粉+搅拌（手动）+黄油+搅拌（手动）+倒入模具+烘焙15分钟（160摄氏度）+自然冷却+切割（2至3片圆型蛋糕）=待用

B：奶油+打发+巧克力（液态）+搅拌（手动）+可可粉（5克）+搅拌=待用
C：蛋糕+B（涂抹1.5cm厚度）+蛋糕+B（涂抹剩下的B）+可可粉（用网筛）

...but perhaps not.
