Notes
If using salted butter do not add salt to the recipe. Use any flavoured juice either Ready made or Fresh fruit juice. I recommend fresh fruit juice which adds more flavour to the recipe. All ingredients should be at room temperature. Use good quality Cocoa powder. Correct measurement of each ingredients is important. Try to tweak recipes with your creativity.
