So today I tried to bake a cake and I have never been so anxious to see the outcome. I mixed all the ingredients just like I see the gurus on YouTube doing it. Let me tell you what I made was not just a cake but...(is this the part I mention Maina🤔) When I thought time is over and I was ready for the unveil, my timer betrayed me, the recipe lied, and now I own a vanilla-flavored swamp.
It came out as rice pudding’s cousin or like rice with excess water: wet, flat, sloshing and deeply confused about its identity. I poked it with a fork and it sighed. I have never stared at my sufurias this much. I was like "Oh my God what happened in there?" Did the flour go on strike? Did the baking powder forget its job? I poked it and it jiggled back. I'm pretty sure I heard it gurgle.
That was a science experiment gone wrong. I give myself 10/10 for effort, 0/10 for structure. Still ate a corner though for science.
RIP to that cake.
The good news is i survived my Nth bake but my pan didn't.
Baking rule #1: if it’s not cake, rename it “deconstructed dessert” and pretend you meant to do it.
Happy baking 😂😂😂
