About the Chocolate Cake…

So, I tried to make a chocolate cake that I could share with everyone. Sadly, I have to share with you that the cake didn’t make it. Actually, it sorta made it. Well, there’s good news and bad news.

The bad news is: it had a funny after taste. However, after doing a little investigation, I think I know what the culprit was. As soon as I muster up enough courage to face the kitchen aid again, I’m going for round 2.

The other bad news: It didn’t rise properly, the way you would expect cake to. In fact, it bubbled up, and jumped right out of the cake pan. It also managed to make a huge mess in the oven, which happily, we have a self-cleaning oven. However, that was an experience as well. It was the first time we used is, and we figured with chocolate cake everywhere, it was a good time. Too bad the cake caught fire! The alarm went off, and the whole house smelled bad for a few hours.

The good news: The texture was perfect!! It was like real cake. Also, the oven is now clean.

There she blows! Well, the cake dripping into the oven.

The cake, still in one piece.

After the flip….

All that hard work…
