Chocolate Cake

First Published: 2022 February 23

Draft 1

Directions for this attempt at the chocolate cake recipe I used to compete in the competition series.1

  1. Preheat Oven to 350F

  2. Beat together:

  3. Melt 1.5 Sticks butter together until frothy,2 add 8 oz chocolate to that

  4. Mix well, until chocolate is dissolved

  5. Combine with liquids and 25g flour.

  6. Pour into well-greased tin

  7. Bake until edges pulling from side and middle seems done (8 minutes for cupcake, 16 for cake pan)

  8. Let cool most of the way

  9. Invert on a plate before fully cool

Why am I baking this, you might ask. Mostly because tomorrow is the last day of Ordinary Time, which feels like a good time to celebrate. That, and I haven’t baked in a few weeks which is sad.
