The Cake that Couldn't

MeLissa tried to conquer new territory this weekend in the world of allergy-free baking. Let's just say, she's going to have to make a few more attempts. She tried to make a chocolate cake without eggs and without "normal" flour - a daunting task to be sure!

Despite our past successes in the realm of brownies and cookies, we have been a little skittish about trying a cake. Cakes are a little more "touchy," shall we say, than cookies and brownies. There are lots of little chemistry-like things that have to happen for that favorite birthday confection to turn out in edible form. MeLissa knew this going into her experiement and was not terribly surprised (though, admittedly, she was disappointed) to learn that her fears were well placed.

We took a picture of the "carnage" before we threw it out which we'll share (as usual) later! MeLissa thinks one thing she'll have to modify is the baking time next time around - it looked like it could use another hour or two!

At any rate, it looks like our newest nemesis (since the triangles seem to be, if not vanquished, at least under control), is "The Cake." We'll keep you posted as the story unfolds...
