hi everyone! long time lurker, just wanted to share my first attempt at baking and icing a cake 😀

my family and friend circle is quite small, and i’m too nervous to take my baked goods into work (i feel like family/friends are lying to me when they say it’s good LOL) so i’ve never made a whole cake as i fear it would just go to waste.

i finally just said screw it, and bought a square tin (just to make things more difficult), halved a recipe, cut it into quarters and BOOM! i am now the proud owner of two slightly (very) lopsided, messy, but SCRUMPTIOUS chocolate cakes!

    Looks absolutely amazing!
    Funny thing, I made a similar cake yesterday chocolate cake with salted caramel and chocolate ganache.
    Maybe you can try using caramel sauce too next time, tastes delicious 😋

  2. I think this looks amazing! Bet it was tasty, too!

    Looks delicious 😋 I would try to eat the whole cake with a couple cups of milk! 😂 You did an amazing job!

    Lopsided? I don’t see anything wrong with it plus it’s uniquely square. Looks amazing

    It looks great. If I attempted that, mine wouldn’t look even half that good. I’m serious. Cakes (especially layered) are intimidating.

    It looks amazing. So moist and fudgy. You should be proud 👏 🥰

    Great job! I don’t see it being lopsided but a little tip to settle your batter evenly in the pan is to lightly drop or tap your filled pan on the counter. It levels the batter and removes air bubbles. Looks absolutely delicious 😋!!!
