Just shared a gift link to my favorite chocolate cake recipe, so I might as well share it with everyone. Double the frosting because this doesn’t make much. (This has also become my go-to cream cheese frosting.)

There was a cake recipe from an old Mennonite cookbook that went viral a couple years ago. Preceding a basic spice cake recipe was “soak barbecue pork in club soda overnight.”

They left out the step where you strain the meat out, so TikTok made it with the meat in the cake.

Wanted a heavier birthday cake. Stole this idea from Coworker's wife who uses pound cake recipe for her basic cake batter. I like her results.

Blood orange chocolate cake. A basic chocolate recipe but with a blood orange—whole, boiled & pureed—replacing some of the liquid. Glaze is oat milk chocolate chips. Yum.

I turned Tartine’s basic chiffon cake recipe into coconut cupcakes. It was not a bad idea at all.

I'm always astonished by the isekai MC's being reborn in a less tech'y age and they're like, "Well I'll just have to invent science (usually aided by magic of some kind)" and remembering physics and laws of thermodynamics when I swear I would struggle to remember a basic cake recipe if pressed.

Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting🍫
I had a lot of fun making this one, but even more fun eating it. The recipe called for fancier pans, but I really just wanted to go old school and make a basic 13x9. It was rich and decadent and had copious amounts of frosting.

This is that chocolate cake recipe I made. It’s easy and just uses basic items and it has a nice real food taste. I usually ice it with chocolate icing.

Today's baking for a couple of gatherings that are happening here. 🥖🍰 Chibatta rolls on the right and 2 loaf cakes on the left. (I doubled a basic butter and egg cake recipe and put cocoa in part of the batter to make the marble cake.) #baking #yeast #dessert
