I was watching Willy Wonka in Spanish and developed a sweet tooth. I decided to make some chocolate cake.
So I find this recipe and decide that I'll cut everything down. So I cut everything down and ran into some problems with like a quarter of an egg, etc. So after that I decide that I might as well make it in the microwave.
I look for the ingredients and run into some more problems. No coco, so I use hot chocolate, no canola oil, so I use vegetable oil. No chocolate chips, so I use m&ms.
Okay, not too bad, it will still work. So I mix it all up in not a bowl...but a coffee cup
I go to add some vanilla extract. I tell myself just a tinee tiny bit and end up accidentally adding like 2 teaspoons. I said screw it with the egg and just added the whole thing.
I throw this into the microwave for 3.5 minutes. It comes out smelling DELICIOUS.
I throw it on a plate and take a bite. It tastes like a sponge. I try to swollow it, but can't. So I threw up.
Now I'm attempting to clean up a spongy nasty mess and a pool of vomit.
Can someone teach me how to make chocolate cake?
First lesson of cooking is get a recipe and follow it to the letter.
That said, here is a really tasty delight you may like.
Get a small tub of sugar free cool whip, a small box of sugar free instant pudding (any flavor you like), a small box of sugar free jello ( any flavor that tastes good with the pudding you choose (example chocolate pudding and raspberry jello) mix it all together with 1 half cup of 2% milk. Pour the mixture into a readymade gram cracker or Oreo pie crust. Chill and eat!
If you don't watch your weight get reg cool whip, pudding and jello mix with whole milk.
This stuff is so good, and you don't have to bake anything.
