cake

Experiment 1

When I first got my BB HAC 10, I tried the chocolate cake recipe it came with. I found it dry and sad, even though I goosed it with sour cream, used cake flour and did light crust method!

Craving a really yummy cake, I found a recipe that looked like it would be adaptable to cake method. It called for addition of hot water, which I chose to add in the “Add” phase of the method.

How it started – so promising!- :

I was then treated to delightful smell of burninating, because…

… the cake rose. Of course it would, it was such a liquidy batter! I had done some mental math that the amount of flour would be ok for my ホームベーカリー but I didn’t account for foaming up all awesome.

So I now have a fun clean up project – but – the cake tastes like the best supermarket birthday cake or the best box cake mix, without being boxed. I will call it a win, even if I had to scoop it out with a ladle and a rice paddle. :3 I intend to try again, but halving the recipe.
