Deep Dark Chocolate Cake
Dec. 30th, 2006 04:57 pmJust another case of sticking a recipe here so I can find it easily again. :)
Makes one 13x9x2 or two 9" round cakes (and I'm currently testing it in a bundt pan.)
2 c sugar
13/4 c flour
3/4 c cocoa
11/2 tsp baking powder
11/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 c vegetable oil
1 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla
1 c boiling water
Mix the dry ingredients together throughly. Add eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla and beat until well combined. At this point it should be somewhere between a regular cake batter and a brownie batter is consistency. Stir in boiling water and immediately pour into prepared pan(s).
Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes or until a toothpick/skewer/cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
[ETA: Well the silicon bundt pan experiment was... interesting. The cake will bake up okay in a bundt but it takes about 50 minutes. It needs to cool significantly to unmold though since it's very delicate when hot or even just warm. If I try it again in this pan I will let it get stone cold before I try unmolding it. When you can turn the pan inside out sticking it's that much of a problem.]

Need music recommendations
Dec. 30th, 2006 06:50 pmOkay, Mai Yamane is taking over my soul lately with the vocals she did for Cowboy Bebop so can anyone suggest some vocal driven bluesy/jazz/rock to me?
I'm also addicted to Steve Conte's vocals on "Call Me, Call Me" (also from Bebop).
And to get away from the Bebop OSTs, Kenny Wayne Shepard's "Blue on Black" and Nick Cave's "Red Right Hand" are on heavy rotation lately.
So something similar to any of that?
Download a RAR with the mentioned songs if you don't know them. As always, listen then delete. ;)
