husband is a sweet tooth person and when it was his birthday, i bake him this cake.. recipe is quite complicated but once a year so, why not? ^_^ .This cake is enough for 16 person's after meal sweets. but during the time we ate them, we have cut them for only 8 persons and im pretty sure im gonna bake this again anytime soon. was too appealing its not enough i swear!

so here is the recipe:
