When My children requested to have chocolate cake for their breakfast, i was quite relented to bake it as chocolate can be quite heaty when eaten too much. But since they insisted and they agreed to drink plenty of fluid after that, i agreed and bake this non rich honey chocolate cake. As this Sponge cake need to add whipped cream, i opt out of it and eat it as plain.
