Today it was Moist Chocolate Cake Day!
Started out preparing all the ingredients. Reading through the recipe it was mentioned that I needed to beat the egg whites separately. There I was thinking that if I beat the other ingredients already, don't I have to was the beater to beat the egg whites? So the extremely lazy me decided to HAND beat the eggs with a freaking FORK.
Stupid, I know, but then it turned out fluffy and shiny anyway (with a good exercise too!)Then there I go, mixing in everything and finally into the tray it goes. At that point I realised that the tray was too big. Horrible judgement. So the batter was barely an inch from the bottom. I have an extremely flat cake! :(
Anyways, waited for the cake to be done and damn it smells incredible! Took it out and realised that it was rather dry.
Soon I found out the culprit. The recipe stated that I was suppose to be using dark chocolate, grated. Instead, I used cocoa powder, which I think is dryer and more bitter because a chocolate bar will have oil in it. Dumbass...
So since the MOIST chocolate cake is no longer moist (I think its more of a crumble now), I added a nice scoop of cookies and cream ice cream onto it to give it some moisture and sweetness.
Hell yeah! It taste even awesomer after that. ;)So the cake shall be my dinner for today! :)
