cake

its been a long time since i made a cake that i found all sorts of fault with it
i made a choc cake with caramel icing last night, after work
it was good, but i certainly wasnt happy with it

it calls for a cup of coffee, so i made the coffee a bit stronger than normal,
and i could taste a hint of coffee in the cake
not what i wanted at all
i shant be making the coffee stronger than normal after this

and i dumped some choc chips in the batter, the recipe didnt call for it
but i thot it would be good
well, the choc chips all went to the bottom of the cake
next time, i'll put the batter in the pan, then sprinkle choc chips over the top
and see how that works
i think it'll work better
or maybe :lightbulb moment: maybe i'll bake it half ways, then sprinkle choc chips on it
that sounds like a lovely idea

and then, i made caramel icing
and every time i make caramel icing, i'm never satisfied with the looks of it
its good, caramel icing is always good
but this time, i put too much 10x in
and so it got hard on me, before i got it spread
and i put it on too thick
talk abt a sweet cake, it was almost sickeningly sweet

so, i've been trying to give it away
left some at central
mom dad and bro came over for ice cream and cake tonight
and i sent some along home with them
and that left me with 4 pieces
so i wrapped them up and stuck them in the freezer

Try rolling your chocolate chips in flour before putting them in the cake batter, i have tried this before..
