CHOCOLATE CAKE 😋

Let’s Get Baking!

Alright, let’s roll up those sleeves and get down to business. First, we’re playing matchmaker by sifting together our flour, yeast, cornstarch, and cocoa. Think of it as setting up a blind date where everyone gets along famously. Reserve that fluffy mixture for the party later.

Next, in a bowl that’s definitely seen some things, we’re going to beat our butter and sugar until they’re as fluffy as a cloud avoiding a diet. Whip it good with those electric rods, and pop in the eggs one by one—patience, my friend, good things come to those who wait. Beat them until they know they belong in that mix, add a hint of vanilla essence, and then gently, oh so gently, introduce the flour mixture to the bowl. It’s a slow dance, not a mosh pit.

Now for the fun part: fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts like you’re tucking them into bed, nice and cozy. Once that’s done, butter up a mold (and maybe compliment it a little, molds have feelings too) and pour your cake mixture in.

Whisper sweet nothings to your oven as you preheat it to 170º, slide your cake in, and let the baking alchemy happen for 45 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick plays it cool and comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool before you even think about that chocolate bath it’s going to take.

Feeling the anticipation? Good! Now, let’s hop on over to the next page where the real enchantment begins with our chocolate coverage.
