Baking disaster of epic proportions, it was. Well, maybe not epic. I mean, nobody died. Nothing caught fire or, you know, exploded. Well, other than the cake itself upon meeting the plate. But pretty disastrous, anyhow.
If you recall, I still ate it. But soup was not exactly the consistency I was going for. :-/
The recipe was too tempting to give up on, though and since I'm pretty sure it was all the extra sugar that messed it up, I decided to try again on Sunday. I had skipped lunch with the folks and just went on home because I was tired and had worked the day before. Whenever I work on Saturday I need that time at home alone on Sunday. Otherwise I'm just not fit to live. But since Sunday lunch with the folks usually includes some sort of dessert...well...enter the redemption of the "Single Girl Melty Chocolate Cake"!
Not gonna lie. I as totally tempted to leave in the ramekin and just eat it like pudding just in case it was another failure. But I had to be brave for single girls the world over. So I pulled my big girl panties on (which, let's face it--I'm a BIG GIRL. All my panties are big. haha) and inverted the cake onto a plate...
TaDa! (Almost) Perfect!
The, um, dent, in the middle sorta worried me when I first emptied the dessert onto the plate. Why was it there? Was it because I'd put in a TABLESPOON of flour instead of the TEASPOON the recipe called for? And what is it with me confusing tablespoons and teaspoons, anyway? I CAN read, yanno. Or so I claim. Apparently. haha
But if you'll notice in the photo of the cookbook, it's a little dented. *shrugs* Maybe it's supposed to be that way. Hmmmm...
I bravely dug my spoon in...
So thanks, Joy the Baker! :-D You totally rawk!
