Piece of cake!

I have just finished a slice of my second scratch cake. It's not so much that I needed a month and a half to recover from the butthurt of my first scratch cake as that I just don't like cake as much as pie and therefore don't care to make it for myself but also don't want to inflict loved family members with more experimentation.

It worked out much better. Properly melting the baker's chocolate and using fresh baking soda resulted in a product that was authentically cakelike. (Or is every cake intrinsically "cakelike"? I've heard it argued that a female cannot do something that is unfeminine.) I looked hard for a completely different frosting recipe and tried this. I probably shouldn't have been so desperate as to try an unrated recipe, because I don't know if it failed to thicken because I did it wrong or because it isn't a great recipe. But it turned out to be a fairly credible chocolate sauce that I drizzled over the cake, so no great loss. It'll be a pleasant dessert for the next few days.

And this topic reminds me that I need to perform important research FOR SCIENCE!
