\"Chocolate<\/a>
Chocolate Almond Cake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I had baked cookies once, a cheese cake, and little chocolate lava cakes several times, but I had never baked a real cake. I figured I really needed that on my resume for being a good home cook. So I found a recipe on youtube that looked easy enough (please see at the end of the post), and started messing around in the kitchen. It was a lot easier than I thought, but it did require time and patience.<\/p>\n

I only had one round 9″ cake pan and in the video it required 2 to make the 2 layers of the mousse cake. I found a couple buy diazepam online europe <\/a> small square baking pans. Not sure what they were for but I guessed they were probably just as good? Square cake… Why not?<\/p>\n

And I also made chocolate ganache to coat my cake, and after the ganache was done and shining on my cake, it looked really pretty and I felt really proud of myself. Yay!!!<\/p>\n

Here is the recipe:
\n1 1\/2 cups flour, all purpose
\n4 eggs, large
\n1 cup chocolate chips (I used the fancy chocolate chips by Costco)
\n1 cup butter, unsalted
\n1 cup sour cream
\n1 cup sugar, granulated
\n1\/2 tsp salt
\n1 tsp baking powder
\n1 tsp baking soda
\n2 tsp vanilla extract<\/p>\n

for chocolate ganache:
\n1 1\/2 cup chocolate chips
\n1 cup heavy cream<\/p>\n
