150 gm oil
3 tbsp coco powder
1 tbsp alkaline water(kan sui in Cantonese)(air abu in Malay)
Method:
1:Cook sugar oil in advance.Cook until the sugar oil turn caramelize or golden brown.To test the sugar oil texture and readiness,use a drop of cool water mix with sugar oil.If the sugar oil separate the water when mix with cool water,then it's ready.Store up to a year in a tight air container when it's cool down.
2:Mix the dough ingredients together and let it proof for one and half hour before moulding.

4:Divide each filling 40 oz and each dough/skin for 60gm.
5:Wrap each filling with the dough,nicely cover the filling.Press the wrapped mooncake into the mold hard to get the imprint.Knock the mooncake out from the mold if you're using wooden mold .Make sure you knock the mooncake mold on a wooden or tile table or counter edge.
6:Bake the mooncake for 20 minutes.Prepare egg yolk for brushing.Removed the mooncake from oven after 20 minutes baking for brushing.Re-bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.Yield 10-12 regular size mooncake
Note:
This batch of chocolate mooncake is really soft and dark due to the sugar syrup I just cooked.You can see my mooncake was out of shape but it's really moist and tasty.Personally ,my own make mooncake taste better than the one I bought from the store!!.Give a chance to yourself,to see how your mooncake turn out!.Stay tune for more different flavor mooncake!.

I'm so envious you can make your own mooncakes! I'm sure they taste better and of better quality than the ones bought from the store. :)
This is definitely a different take on mooncakes. Chocolate and pandan go well together though.
