Everyday Chocolate Cake, made entirely by moi. Dig in! |
Anyway.
This time, the cake was more dense. And when I test-pressed it to check for readiness, the dents STAYED. And I didn't even press that hard. I felt so
I guessed the cake was dense because I possibly overmixed the batter. The recipe said to not overmix. I rebelled. But I just love mixing things together, okay?
Those dents though. |
Also, I didn't put wax paper in the cake pan. I greased it with the leftover butter wrapper. Then I floured it. My
Those fingers are my brother's fingers. |
And... what else. Well. The cake tasted okay, smelled okay, and looked okay. Oh yeah! I had slight trouble getting it out of the pan!
Wise Ol' Mum said, "With parchment paper you can just pull it out of the pan."
I pondered over her statement. The gears in my mind whirred. "Would wax paper work too? Or would it burn in the oven?"
Mother the Non-Moth said, "No, no... it won't burn... ahh..."
I forgot what she said after that. Anyways, I did PHOTO
SO.
I think that's all......
WAIT IT ISN'T
Look at these to complete your day.
Top view. I told Mum, "You have to take it from different angles, y'know?" |
I didn't know what those white/yellow things were. I JUST figured out that it is most likely the flour from the pan. *facepalm* Why am I so dense. Well, like cake like baker I guess. |
