Rich butter cake

My family fancy richer taste and it gotta be rich chocolate cake (their fav) , rich durian cake and even rich butter cake! Everything have to be added with a rich to entice them.

This time, I did not bake rich butter cake on purpose for them but someone else. It's part of a reciprocation and appreciation for that someone who succour in times when I needed help.
