From Scratch: My Second Week of Cooking and Baking!!!
For this week’s learning project I decided to bake a simple chocolate cake as I wanted to start off with a very simple baking recipe. I was craving something sweet and chocolate has been one of my greatest sweet pleasure. So, I decided to search online on Google about a simple chocolate cake without ganache recipe. After searching the entire page, I found a website, “Bake with Zoha” that had all the ingredients that I had at my home. I gathered all the ingredients and started following the recipe step by step. The good thing about the recipe was that it had a video and then in text description of the recipe which made it very easy for me to make the cake. It ended up being quite good however, the cake was till stick to the bottom of the baking tray even after cooling it down for an hour. This might be because of not enough greasing on the baking pan. I also made some changes in the measurement for sugar since I am a sweet tooth so I like the sugar on a high level . Therefore, I changed the sugar from 3/4th cup to 1 full cup. Overall, the cake turned out to be awesome. This week was pretty awesome to begin with and I hope I can make new more dishes in the upcoming weeks.

That sounds like such a fun and rewarding project. Baking a chocolate cake is always a good choice to start with, and it’s great that you found a recipe with both video and text instructions that really makes the process easier. The sticking issue definitely sounds like it was due to not greasing the pan enough, maybe next time try lining it with parchment paper too. I like how you adjusted the sugar level to match your sweet tooth. Sometimes a little extra makes the cake taste even better! I can imagine enjoying a slice with a cup of tea and some spoons ready to dig in. Looking forward to hearing about the new dishes you try next week.
