Now this particular cake will not have any icing or flavor being on top or around it as it will be completely plain. Once it has been completely mixed then it will turn into chocolate powder but it will still have the color of the cake that you placed in there in the first place, so do not expect the color to change as we're not adding any water to this mixture.
