With regards to baking, everyone has another way of going about it. Some people follow a recipe accurately while others take a recipe and make it their own. So long as the end result works out very scrumptious, what does it matter? Experimenting and discovering new ingredients and ways of baking is a part of people having their own preferences and creativity. Plus, it's the way that new recipes are put into publication. There's something which is, for me, incredibly difficult to mess up - a chocolate cake recipe. There isn't a chocolate cake recipe around the world that has not turned into something which I've considered to be terrible. Sure, a number of them could use some enhancement, but chocolate is my weakness. As long as it turns out fluffy and moist, I'm in heaven.
It doesn't matter what cookbook you go through, you'll find a chocolate cake recipe, or several, that will tempt you beyond belief. There will be different toppings, ingredients or icings that'll be suggested. It is possible to select the chocolate cake recipe that suits the quantity of work that you are comfortable with making. Do you need to get more details regarding chocolate? This French document regarding chocolate (chocolat) features some helpful information and should be interesting for you to take a look.
My grandmother used to make the finest cakes. Each year, for my birthday, she would bake me a chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. In my opinion, there is nothing better. She never discussed her recipe with anyone, she just enjoyed we all drooling over it and praising her skills. Her birthday cakes were the key reason I looked toward my birthdays. In her final year of life, she was quite sick. My birthday must have been a week away and she called me to tell me that she was extremely sorry but she wouldn't have the ability to bake my cake. She did not believe that she had the strength or energy. But, she wished to pass her secret chocolate cake recipe that we all longed to have. Within a day, it was within my hands. I read over it, noticing that the last ingredient outlined was "love". My eyes welled up and I made a decision that I would be baking my very own birthday cake that year. I did exactly that, following her chocolate cake recipe to the exact details. On the night of my birthday, I took my grandmother a piece of cake. She ate it very slowly, telling me how great it was. I saw the look of happiness in her eyes.
Regardless of how many chocolate cake recipes you will find in your lifetime, you will always have one that you're attached to. Perhaps it just tastes the best, or maybe it has emotional significance.
