RE: @allaboutpastries: Death by Chocolate...a Star of the Chocolate Cake World ...Well I Think So! Plus More of the Great Posts You might have Missed.
Lemon is important in this cake as it is part of the raising agent. However, it does have a dual purpose in that it balances sugar and richness. Do try this cake, even just the cake not the covering. You will be amazed how light and moist and chocolatey it is. Thank you for your response, much appreciated. X
By golly! You just intensified my craving!!! Light, moist, and chocolatey OOOOOOOo My husband loves chocolate cake too..I WILL try this one soon :))
You really must. You will never go back to making chocolate cake any other way. If you don't like the hint of lemon substitute a weak tasting, ordinary vinegar instead. It just requires the acid element to work. Thank you for your interest. X
I see..I've used vinegar in a choc cake recipe before :) But I always have lemons on hand and want to try the recipe with lemon this time, so won't need the substitute :) Thanks anyway dear! :))
No problem. I prefer lemon juice because it does cut through the richness of the cake. Those friends of mine who have eaten it always comment so. Try it and see, you will be impressed. I love passing on knowledge gained through experience. That way it is never lost. Change a recipe by at least 40 % and that recipe becomes yours. Bear that in mind for your future blogging! Great to interact with you. I follow your posts with great interest. :)X
Thanks for that rule of thumb :) Good to keep in mind, for the future :) Have a happy Monday! <3
Same to you my dear. Oh a further update to my prior 'rant'....I did cook lunch for my little corn man, and made my own pasta, and sauce, and garlic'd some bread.....so not just working on my post! Thought about it between closing that and opening this. dah! X
Well, with this bit of new info, you've levelled up to be a lot more speedy than I am.. ;) you're doing well!!
Not necessarily. Having to re do the Ciabatta and tweek the recipe, to take into account flour and oven. Will post later I hope? :)X
