Not A Piece Of Cake

28 February 2010 By: Marlene24 Comments

There are times when I feel like baking though these times do not come so often as I want it.  I am a poor hand at baking and cooking, however I’ve been trying to learn since I got married.  Whenever I try to bake something and it will turn out the way it should be feels like heaven to me.  Fortunately, nothing I baked that turned out to be “uneatable”.  Though at times I get a result that disappoints anyone’s palate.

choco-cake

A chocolate cake cookie?

This chocolate cake I baked on my break looked good but not the way I would want it to be.  It should be soft and spongy but this seemed to be like a cookie.  I didn’t seem to miss something from the recipe, in fact, I liked blending all the ingredients cos it looked like I was doing a chocolate fondue.  I got this recipe from my cook book but it doesn’t have an image of how it should turn out to be.  I should find a better recipe for chocolate cake.  Baking is not a piece of cake to me and I always need a recipe in front of me even if I had baked the same thing before.

    Awwww, keep on trying Marlene! You will get better and have yummy treats along the way. I like to pretend I am doing a science experiment, and if something doesn’t turn out well that’s okay. I learned not to do that again. 🙂
