Seriously the oven in the house we are currently living in is crap...
I decided to make a chocolate cake the other day following Leah's recepie from The Home Empress
After 20 mins in the oven it was looking like this:
Hmm... I thought. Not quite right... But I thought I'd leave it fro a bit and see what happened.
And after nearly burning the ganache (can't quite seem to get it right) it turned out looking like this:

Not a fluffy light chocolate cake, but a little more puddingy and dense. And actaully quite nice!
And Leah had the right idea about zapping it in the microwave for a few seconds to warm and soften it up a little! YUMMY!!!
But seriously the best bit? Letting Abi 'lick' the spoon!
A bit naughty giving Abi chocolate cake mix... but it's not like I give her bad stuff all the time...
And the top did end up much much dirtier than this shot.
It looks like a meteor hit it in the oven! Always good when a cake still turns out OK despite what it looks like while cooking - Yum!
ReplyDeleteGo Abi! IMO licking the bowl is always better than eating the cake!
ReplyDeleteAs long as it tastes good looks don't matter!
ReplyDeleteNaughty treats are fun, it's not like she's on a diet of chocolate milk and chips. Besides how could anything that adorable be wrong?
Yay you tried it! I hate getting used to a new kitchen, especially the oven! Takes forever to work out. Thanks for the mention Sammie xoxo
ReplyDeleteMy goodness Abi is such a big girl now, I let Georgi lick the spoon too hehe! <3
