Baking Bread

I have been so absolutely in love with baking bread as of late. I have been really loving the WHO bread recipe from Soulemama

The loaf above was actually a store bought 

frozen for when I'm feeling sort of lazy type of 

thing. The yellow bag underneath is my first

attempt at sewing a bread bag.

I even went out and bought a bread machine! 

And then Jackson promptly broke it...

It's ok I think I can still use it...  

Secret Chocolate Cake

I have been craving sweets non stop and since we desperately need to go grocery shopping we don't exactly have many options. I found this cupcakes for two recipe and tweaked it a bit.

• I was out of vanilla so I added three tablespoons of cocoa powder
•  I creamed the sugar and butter instead of melting the butter
• I used one whole egg instead of egg whites since the color doesn't matter after the addition of cocoa powder
• I baked it in a glass pan for just one cake instead of making cupcakes as I do not own a cupcake pan. I baked it for twenty five minutes
• I doubled all other ingredients
• I topped it with a sprinkle of powdered sugar

It turned out a lot more fudge like than cake like, but it was still tasty.

Now here is where the secret part comes in; I made it and ate it by myself (because I'm disgusting like that) in one afternoon and my husband and children don't ever need to find out...
