So I've been on a bit of a chocolate cake binge lately. We've stayed with our favorites (the
double chocolate layer from epicurious and
Toba Garrett's chocolate fudge)
for the last couple years, so I thought it'd be fun to look around
again. And this last cake in the chocolate cake streak was prompted by a
late-night craving, so I tried Martha Stewart's
one-bowl chocolate cake.
I was amazed at the little oil in the recipe, and in the end, I was
disappointed. The cake rose like crazy and domed, so maybe I overbeat.
It was a tough cake and not very chocolaty. The frosting was good, but
seemed to be a mismatch with the cake. I might like the cake better
with maybe whipped cream instead of a dense ganache type frosting. The
frosting I would try again on a denser cake. So here's the last little piece.
It was fun to play around a little, and we got a couple new favorites with the Chocolate Cloud Roll and the Chocolate Orange Cake.

I hate chocolate disappointment! At least the frosting was good so you could enjoy the cake.
Well you know Martha's recipes are really good. I think most moms will agree with me about that.
