3.) Pour some into the Cocoa powder to dissolve. Pour back into saucepan and continue to whisk until all melted. ( I use a small hand whisk )
4.) Mix Hoon Kueh n Jelly powder with 50ml water. Mix well until no lumps.
5.) Pour Hoon Kueh mixture into saucepan. Continue to whisk mixture.

8.) Chill overnight for best results.
**TIPS**
Pace a pc of aluminum foil below cake base (enough to cover whole cake) as you pour fudge mixture over your cake as the mixture will be slightly runny. As the mixture flows down, use a plastic dough cutter/spatula to smoothen top n scoop back to sides of cake (not to waste)
Enjoy your Lana Cake!
