B*tchcakes recipe experiments, take one.
Nov. 13th, 2007 06:31 pmfor those of you who listen to my wild rants via AIM, I've recently come across a nifty little idea for food.
Bitchcakes.
Chocolate cakes with a spicy chocolate/cinnamon/pepper molten center.
tonight I finally cleaned up the kitchen and set down to trying the molten decadence cake recipe for this endeavor. linkage is here.
For the most part the recipe was left unaltered, save for cocoa powder dusting the inside of the cake cups instead of flour, and the portions being halved to give me time to insert a cinnamon/pepper/cocoa/sugar mixture into the center along with some cinnamon redhots.
The results, after seven phone-addled minutes of baking (HOW is it they always call when I'm cooking?) the cakes were removed from the oven and one was selected from the rest to be served on a plate with whipped cream. Sadly, my intended effect was not won.
While the cake itself was light, fluffy and definitely dark chocolate, the molten middle was lacking. Still a very delicious cake and I might just alter to recipe to blend in more cinnamon red hots, because they formed a lovely chewy center.
I shall try the bundt cake recipe next. perhaps with a denser batter I shall have more luck. This looks like a promising bet.
Edit: also noting, I should not be afraid to use more hot pepper in this. and that possibly I over-cooked this batch.
