Jan. 14th, 2011 12:16 pmI made chocolate chickpea cake last night. Well, the recipe was there, I had a can of chickpeas...
Mine didn't rise like theirs did, though frankly it's hard to tell from the photos whether theirs rose a lot anyway; with four eggs in it, you'd think it would. Either way, it manages to be dry and yet oddly greasy at the same time; it's like eating buttered sawdust. I may have baked the anti-cake. Or, as Junie put it, I may have weaponized cake.
Either way, I can't in good conscience recommend that recipe, but maybe someone with better bakery luck than I have can try it. I don't know why I keep baking when I am so obviously unsuited for it.
Speaking of terrible food, Trace Chapter Seven is up!
I also updated the earlier Radio Free Monday post with links to donation sites and fan auctions supporting Brazil, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines, which are also badly hit.
