Have you ever baked a cake?

Yes, it's what I do for a living.

I used to bake cakes, cupcakes and cookies. But, I lost interest in baking about 30 years ago. I don't care much for desserts. It's not that I dislike all sweets, but I like to "savor" a savory meal, rather than introduce a glut of sugar.

Sometimes, I like a bit of dark chocolate later at night ... but, often I don't. With cakes, you need to start consuming them before they go stale, and they would never be finished before becoming as solid as brick, with mold.

I made swedish chocolate gooey mudcake today. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kladdkaka It's just the best cake ever invented.
I have baked thousands of cakes, what do you want to know?

I remember it was june 2015 that one day I decided that fast food is not good for me and then I watched youtube and learned how to cook. Since then I have tried many things such as pasta, Thai foods, Chinese foods, African foods and western foods and I have enjoyed them all Without youtube I might not have started cooking at all.

I have baked many kinds. I make a carrot cake that uses no electric mixers - all by hand. Also lemon loaf cakes. And cheesecake. Not so much with the cookies and muffins.

Hello,
I only bake cakes for others.
The one which was the most enquired after was watermelon cake... Though I wonder why. To my taste, it was not very good.
The second recipe of mine which is usually inquired about is apple pie.
Till later,

Nope! I just wait for someone in my workplace to have a birthday and head down to the break room. For some reason, there's always cake there. Coincidence..........I think not!

That seems like a lot of work. I don't know how though. But I get a lot of satisfaction in buying them

I've baked many cakes, all flavors chocolate, white, yellow, spice. As the kids grew up I baked less then when my husband was diagnosed with diabetes I stopped baking.
My personal favourite

Chocolate Zucchini cake


Preheat oven to 350 degrees

1/2 cup Margarine
1/2 cup oil
1 & 3/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
Beat these ingredients all together

2 cups grated zucchini....set aside
1/2 cup sour milk......set aside (to sour sweet milk add a tablespoon of vinegar to the milk)

In a large bowl combine
4 tbsp. cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
2&1/2cups all purpose flour

Add dry ingreds to sugar mixture alternatly with milk and zucchini, making about 4 additions each. beat well with each addition. Pour into a greased and floured 9X13 inch baking pan. Over the top of the batter sprinkle 1/2 to 1 cup chocolate chips. Bake 40 to 45 minutes.



This cake is a real crowd pleaser, super for groups, pot lucks or family. It also freezes very well. I cut into serving sized peices and wrap well before freezing. 30 to 40 seconds in the microwave oven defrosts it very well. Of course before giving to a child test to make sure there are no hot spots.
