Did the Matilda Chocolate cake by Practical Peculiarities. My sweat and blood went into this and I consumed the entire confection.

    Went to the store late last night looking for something that could scratch the “Matilda cake” itch with no success! Then, the universe drops this on my feed the next morning. 😂

    10/10 will be making!

    It’s so funny that apparently the cake was supposed to look gross and disgusting, when all I could think about was wanting some. 😂 It still looks delicious and I’m glad it turned out so well!

    Good for you! 10/10 👏👏👏👏

    Looked good until you said those gross things about adding blood and sweat. This is a cooking and eating sub. Choose your words wisely. 🩸😓😭

    Just kidding. 😂

    I recognized that moist deliciousness before I even read the title! Matilda is one of my favorite childhood movies and every time I watched it I wished I could eat that cake (even with the sweat and blood 😅). Great job, OP, it looks perfect!

    I’m a good guy, I have morals, I can tell the difference between good and bad and I prefer to choose good. BUT OH LORD I would 100000% rob you at gunpoint for that cake.
