Cake Crack.

  • Mistake- Bourbon Mocha Cake Cracks

    Cakes typically don’t have cracks deep enough to store things in them, like utensils and napkins.

    This cake did.

    (Just to clarify- I didn’t end up really storing anything in the cracks.  But I could have if I was so inclined.)

    (Diagnosis?  Too hot of an oven, opening the oven door too often, lack of moisture, blah blah blah.  The truth is that I remembered that I forgot to add the mini chocolate chips to the batter about 5 minutes after I put the cake in the oven.  I wasn’t content to leave well enough alone, though.  Like a rookie baker, I took the cake out of the oven [burning a bit of my finger in the process- a bad omen from the get-go] and stirred the chips in anyway.  Some of the sides had already baked a bit, probably because the oven was too hot from the World’s Greatest Fudge Brownies I had just baked at 25° higher than the cake wanted… but whatever.)

    (This cake really is spectacular, and worth a few cracks, by the way.  It’s the Bourbon Mocha Cake.  You really must make it, fissures and all.)
