She want that cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake, cake Shawshank, August 9, 2020August 9, 2020 So finally. Sunday. SUNDAY! Bake day. I've been waiting for this day for like a week and a half. I'm making The Editor's secret family recipe: Pumpkin Chocolate chip Cake. It's actually in the oven right now. Slight deviation from the recipe. The chocolate chips melted in the heat on the way home from the grocery store, so I had to chop them a little bit. I think it'll taste a little better as a lot more of the chocolate will melt as some of its chopped smaller than regular size chips. I've already been told I'll probably be makin another one closer to the holidays, as my mom makes a basket for dads boss. The usual suspects of the cake. It calls for 14-15oz of pumpkin but I put a little more in mostly by mistake. That's ok, there was one time that I put a whole large can of pumpkin in, and it turned out just fine. Yes, I pull out all the ingredients, and put them all in order before starting, and as I use them, I put them away. I'm a baking nerd like that. I'm used to a KitchenAid mixer, Andy moms is broken, but she has this kick ass mixer, which is just as good as the KitchenAid, in my opinion. I had to have mom show me how to assemble it. So of course, I got momsplained on the 3 different speeds, and the pulse function. Like the KitchenAid, this mixed up very fast. So I added the chocolate chips and mixed for approximately 4.231 seconds and it was ready to be put in the bundt pan. At this point I had to sample my work. It tastes really good. Gave a small spoon of it to my mom, she really likes it. My grandmother cleaned the beaters off. So it has another 30 minutes, then a few hours of cooling before we can eat it. I can't wait to try it. I can't wait for everyone else to try it for the first time. I just wish The Editor was here to have helped me bake it, and to have a slice with some squirty cream. But that'll happen soon enough, and it's gonna be grand! And now the waiting starts. It has to cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then another 2 hours on the rack. Smells so good and it's cooked all the way through. That's a good thing for sure! Both me and The Editor want to tuck into it right now. With or without the squirty cream. But alas, (earwax) it would be way too hot, and against the instructions. Book Shaka Laka. Complete. This thing of beauty is on its final cooling. My work here is done 😀 Life
