This is in the oven right now. It's going to be huge. Literally. The batter came up to the top of the mixing whisk in the mixer. I've never made a cake from scratch before, but this morning was the day to do it. I woke up, made my coffee, and sat down only to be overcome with such an overwhelming urge to make something deliciously rich and chocolaty that it had to be taken care of immediately. Much to my surprise, I already had everything I needed to make this recipe, with the exception of buttermilk. for the 1 & 1/2 cup of buttermilk in the recipe I substituted 1 cup of sour cream and a 1/2 cup of Half and Half. It seems to be a pretty close substitute and there was no way I was about to go up the winding uphill road that is completely iced over to go to the grocery store.
I made the chicken and potatoes I mentioned in my previous post last night. MMMM! Good! (I didn't tell Tim that there was mayo in the mix because he would immediately develop an aversion to it...and without that knowledge, he loved it.) I'll put some pictures and the recipe up soon because it is definitely worth trying...especially if you're trying to learn how to cook meat. ;)
Yay for another snow day!
