Chocolate cake = Failure

Dengan semangat berkobar-kobar, I bought all the ingredients for the cake. The steps in the recipe seems easy to follow, just have to melt the butter and the chocolate and later stir in all the other ingredients. The mixture smells good and looks good. I thought it would be a successful one at last!

I set the temparature at 170'C (that's accordin to the recipe). Bake for 1.5 hours. okie dokie, set timer and off i went to switch on the computer. After half an hour i went down to check on the cake. Smoke was coming out of the oven and there it was, a black, burnt cake. I scraped the top burnt part and discovered that the bottom was still wet, okie, maybe stil have chance. I reduced the temperature and put in the remaining cake. When i took it out after (i forgot how long), it was as hard as stone.

A great baking experience, adding on the my failure in baking in the past.

All I want is a homebaked edible chocolate cake.


Maybe it is time to stop trying?

  4. lol i think your oven's heat comes from the top, that's why the top is burnt and the bottom's still wet. perhaps you might wanna adjust the heater setting :)
