Steps -
1. Melt the butter in the microwave and set aside to let it cool.
2. In a bowl, mix all the Part B together. Set aside.
3. In a big mixing bowl, combine Part A, mix them well then add Part B in. I use a balloon whisker and mix till 
well combined.
4. Pour the batter onto a longer shape baking pan. I used disposable aluminum tray.













5. Bake at 170 degree celsius for 25-28mins. For my oven, i baked at 160 degree celsius at 26mins. 
6. Let the cake cool before removing from the pan.
7.To make ganache - using double boil method to melt the chocolate first, then stir in butter and pour heavy cream in. Stir till well mixed. Ganache will thicken.

Deco and done!
