Tips from the recepi book:
- This can be baked into a big cake or small cup cakes for easy serving.
- During baking, cover the cake with a piece of aluminium foil if it starts to brown too quickly.

I tried this recepi twice, the first time I don't remember I baked for what occasion, but the second time was for Qiaoyi's birthday. Because I couldn't find Nutella in my kitchen, so, I melted the baking chocolate. Then the second time, my mom bought a different chocolate recommended by the bakery shop, and the shop owner said the chocolate will melt by itself in the oven when baking, so, I didn't pre-melted it. But it was a wrong wrong decision... the chocolate still in pieces after the cake was done. :(

Overall, I still the cake very much... it's very easy to bake even for 1st timer... I guaranteed.
