How to bake a cake
January 16, 2018 at 3:23 am
(This post was last modified: January 16, 2018 at 4:06 am by ErGingerbreadMandude.)
What I normally do is add
3/4 cup of flour
1/2 cup chocolate
1/2 cup sugar
1 table spoon baking powder, baking soda
1 or 2 egg
Milk
Olive oil
Crush some cashews
Then beat the shirt out of it. Pour it into a pan rubbed with butter.
Then I preheat oven up to 180 degree. Then set the oven to convention and let it bake for 35 minutes.
When it hits 35 minutes there's a nice aroma and then when I open the oven I see a nice looking cake that is wobbly gooey in the middle and made in the corners.
-_- Every. single. Time. Everything gone to waste.
I have nailed a chocolate cake once though. Just once. Vanilla cake was a success 2 times out of 4.
Here's the chocolate cake I made:

Going through a bit of a dry spell, were you?

I was a chef for many years and I always stayed clear of cakes and pastries if I could.
I'm a master of sauces, a pro at the grill, can have twelve pans cooking twelve different dishes at the same time, non-stop for hours and hours, never burning or spoiling a dish, sending meals out to large tables at the same time, all piping hot and delicious with only one or two complaints a year.
But get me to bake a cake, soufflé or just about any pastry and you will hear yelling, swearing, pots and trays being thrown around the kitchen.
I can barely melt chocolate.
So, Pool, I feel your pain.

If it's made at the edges and gooey in the middle, your oven is too hot.

I know how to make chicken curry, sambar, fish curry, beef and chicken roast, chicken tikka, chicken 65, avial, rasam, rice, briyani...etc etc but baking I'm clueless😕 I think the ratio of the ingredients have to be just right because I get greedy and put a little more sugar and chocolate into the mix to make it taste better.. Wish I had pics of all the failed experiments, had to dig a hole and bury it or Rambo will eat it lol

So preheat the oven to like 150? I usually preheat up to 180. While baking it's usually 110 degrees and that's the lowest it goes

I think just the holes.
Wonder why he let mayo off his list?
