Here we share with you a few tips on how to enjoy Mama's Cheesecake Chocolate Moist Cake....without the chocolate topping:
@Heat it up:- I am never alone when making chocolate moist cake as my daughter and husband always wait for the cake to bake....even if it means sleeping at 1am in the morning! Why? They say the cake is best eaten when it is hot because the crust is as crispy as biscotti while the center is soft, creamy and smooth.
This is definitely something that you can do at home though it is not as 'fresh' as eating it right after the oven pops 'ting!!'. After cutting the cake to your desired size, you have two options on how to re-heat the cake:
Firstly, use the oven. Using a conventional oven, heat it up for 5 minutes at about 150'C. If you are using a microwave oven, though I am not a big fan of this technology, then you can use the 'auto re-heat' option but reduce the time to about 1 minute. The best indicator of whether the cake slice is hot enough is to gently press it with your finger. If it props up immediately, then it is just nice. If it is cold, then you need to heat it up a bit more. If it is hard, that means you have over-heated it and you might have accidentally 'created' a chocolate brownie ;)
Secondly, use the steamer. Place a slice of the cake on a heat-resistant plate. Steam it for about 5 minutes.
Out of the two options, I much prefer the latter as the steaming process actually adds moisture to the cake making it soft and melts in your mouth.
@Peanut butter:- The creamy and sticky texture of the peanut butter actually complements the moist, crispy and soft texture of the cake. Make sure you spread the peanut butter while the cake is still hot (after the re-heating process) as this will slightly melt the peanut butter and create an overall 'creamy' taste when eating your cake. You can use your favourite peanut butter flavor but my favourite so far is Lady's Choice peanut butter with chocolate rice.
