So in high hopes I set out to recreate my great grandmother's delicious sheath cake. This cake is the greatest creation of all kind, with its heavy almost not cake-like chocolateness. I really wanted to share this piece of heaven in food form with the world, so I was determined to make it perfectly. Don't get me wrong, I've made this by myself before for various classes and people in years past. It made so many people happy, I was excited to do this again here. So, with the copy of my mom's recipe hastily written on her trig homework from when she was 16, I set out to make this cake. I thought everything was going fantastic; I had the cake in the oven and the ingredients for the icing on standby. Then I looked at my recipe and realized I had put in something like 1 tablespoon of baking powder instead of 1 teaspoon. I flipped out and was then told it would explode, which made it all okay. To my (and I think everyone there's) disappointment we did not have an explosion in the kitchen that day. The cake just turned out really weird, with a not so chocolatey taste and lots of air holes. Look how ugly it is in the picture! Ughh I hated it, and was too embarrassed to bring it out for our FYS brunch. Now that I've bragged on the recipe so much, I really should make it right sometime really soon (like this weekend). You are all more than welcome to have a piece!
