Pooh Chocolate Cake プーさんチョコケーキ

Helpful Tip’s I’ve Picked Up Along the Way!

-Unsure about egg quality? Fill a bowl with water. Good eggs sink, bad eggs float, eggs that sink but stand on their tip need to be used soon

-Only have salted butter but the recipe calls for unsalted? For every stick, subtract ¼ teaspoon salt. Some say this changes the consistency, but I haven’t noticed any difference.

-If your baking powder has solidified from age, you can test if it’s good by dropping a teaspoon or so into water. It it foams, it’s still good. If not, discard it.

-Pure vanilla extract never goes bad.

-Don’t have cream of tartar? For every ½ teaspoon of cream of tartar, use 1 teaspoon lemon juice or white vinegar. Or, leave it out all together. It’s not the end of the world as long as you’re filing your pointless existence with activities that make you happy.

-Vanilla smells so good that you would expect it to taste just as good

-it does not.

-Life is too short for food dye. (I’ll admit that’s a personal opinion, if it makes you happy, go for it. But if your recipe calls for it, don’t panic if you don’t have it. Your cranberry chocolate chip cookies will be just as tasty without the red food dye)

-If you don’t have lemons for lemon zest, lime zest works just as well, so long as you don’t mind explaining to everyone why there are little green bits in your cookies.

-Freezing cookie dough keeps the fats more solid and reduces spread, but I usually don’t bother.

-Chocolate chip measurements are LIES. “You measure that shit with your heart”

-If you’re baking something on the stovetop, don’t immediately put a plastic lid on the burner you just turned off. (Mom: “What smells like burning plastic in here?” Me: “Uh, it’s just the oven, mom”) Give that shit time to cool off!!

-Always note how long a project takes you so you know for next time. I measure my time in “How many Fiddler on the Roof” listens it is.

-Be prepared to screw up! My first attempt at meringues was a disaster. But I was willing to try again and learn where I messed up and my next batch was tasty and my mom made a quiche out of all the leftover egg yolks.

-Don’t force flour into bread!!!! That “6 cups of flour” is a suggestion, not a requirement. Add flour one cup at a time, stop when the bread is elastic and no longer incredibly sticky, but still soft and malleable.

-Double in bulk means DOUBLE IN BULK. YOU WILL KNOW WHEN YOU SEE IT. (It will also not spring back when poked)

Feel free to add your own tips/ridicule me for mine :D

Remember: everything is temporary! Bad day? Go to bed, get some rest, tomorrow is another day! I love y’all, thank you for wanting to be a part of my journey. :)

I always knew being insecure created problems that I wanted to change, but I didn’t take it seriously until I realized it was going to ruin literally every single relationship I have.

“I don’t know what’s worse: to not know what you are and be happy, or to become what you’ve always wanted to be, and feel alone.”

““Do you know what people really want? Everyone, I mean. Everybody in the world is thinking: I wish there was just one other person I could really talk to, who could really understand me, who’d be kind to me. That’s what people really want, if they’re telling the truth.””
