Well well
A miracle has happened.
I have baked something that appears to have been done quite well.
Baking is not my gig but I followed the recipe step by step and yay for me success.
Got to use my new food mixer
Oh , just bitten into a piece of the cake and it's maybe.a tiny bit less moist than I had hoped it would be but Ive eaten many worse chocolate cakes than this.
Yvonne says it's good, high praise indeed.
Must do a post about the new food mixer.
Maybe about the new microwave
And the new television
Went on a spending spree lol

You can make a syrup with orange juice some water and some sugar. It's good enough to make the cake more moist.

@JimBo452020 If Yvonne likes, change nothing. I made Black Forrest cake yesterday, it's good, the decoration not very professional, but we are eating it and it's really good.

Bought a lot of new stuff when Yvonne was unwell.
Had to.
Just to show Yvonne it wasn't all about me and my new bike.
Bought a new smart TV.
She loves it

Not really.
If.you look real closely you can see where it's a bit rough where it sticked to my baking tin.
Yvonne said I should have left it a bit longer before taking it out of time
And she says I should buy a tin with a pushy up bottom lol

Spending sprees are good. I went on one myself, got a new teapot and a new mini-washer. Can’t bake chocolate cakes in either, though, so you’re definitely the winner.

Something not quite right with the cake.
If I had bought it I would have returned it.
We need a new washing machine soon.
Or maybe just a new door seal lol
We don't even own a teapot

If you add a little mayonaise to your recipe it will make it come out moister.

Oh yes.
Spending money on Yvonne is the best feeling in the world.
She didn't ever have much before we met.
So I do maybe over compensate for that.
Have been over compensating for 25 years

Sadly it is mine Judy.
And it didn't taste right.

Looks can be deceptive.
