At least you instinctively realised there was a better way of doing it! I seem to be missing that in the kitchen, and get into all sorts of scrapes
I completely agree – it’s my absolute favourite chocolate cake, and always the one I make when chocolate cake is called for (and when is it not?!). Thanks for being here!

I’m so relieved to hear you had difficulties with the process of the cake as well! I made this cake last week, before coming across your lovely blog, and my first instinct about the chocolate-in-the-food-processor thing was, “this is gonna blow the motor on my food processor”. So I melted the butter and chocolate in a double boiler first (much the same as the microwave, I imagine), and then added it to the sugar. Such a decadent chocolate cake. In my chocolate cake recipe repertoire, there will never be another one.

This looks fantastic, I’ve got a hankering for apple cake now! And you are completely right, you can’t have apples without cinnamon

This Valentine’s Day, cupcakes are the new heart-shaped box of chocolates. Nothing against heart-shaped boxes of chocolates, we love them too, but cupcakes tell that special someone you’re a 21st-century, game-changing kind of sweetheart. The gourmet cupcake trend really took off back in the late ’90s when HBO’s Sex and the City series name-checked New York’s Magnolia Bakery. And so far, the cupcake trend only seems to be spreading. Cupcake aficionados tend to be passionate sorts, arguing whether the icing should be a thin layer or piled high, the cake palm-sized or one-bite. But we say, what’s to fight about? Cupcake is love in flour and icing. Here’s a select list of top cupcakeries around the U.S.
