Cake Makin'

We decided to make a little Sunday treat together. Aleaha picked the recipe from a book, and it entailed chocolate cake, a jam filling, and chocolate icing. She's pretty much a pro at this.

Miri knows that one of the best parts is licking the bowl and spoon.

The final result looked OK, but it was a little dry. Aleaha was mainly disappointed that we didn't have raspberries to decorate and serve with it, like in the cookbook picture (uh, not in February, m'dear). The recipe technique was one we'd never heard of before (mixing in softened butter to the dry ingredients, then adding the wet ingredients - strange. Maye they meant melted butter? It was a UK English cookbook translated into US English). We won't do this one again. Plus, we like DEEP dark chocolate, and this wasn't. But it was still fun nonetheless.
