Royal Cocoa Cake

This yummy recipe is for my ex-colleague Aishah who requested for it though I have given it to her years ago.  She said she lost her whole recipe book when she shifted house.  Sorry there is no photo to show here.  So Aishah, do take a picture of the cake and email it to me so that I can put it in this blog.
