rich truffle mud cake

told you that sunday is make-a-rich-truffle-mud-cake day!

look at the nice chocolate! it's so smooth and (a bit too) sweet. i shall have to use proper couverture next time, because i think this one will make the cake way too sweet.

this is my first time baking using the water bath method! but i burnt my mittens slightly while trying to adjust the cake pan to stay in the centre of the water bath >.<

this is like an ant's view of the world. look at that red-hot heating element that burnt my mittens.

this photo is labelled DCSF4981. another 1, 4, 8, 9 permutation... anyway, don't know why the cake didn't bake evenly on the surface.

i think the cake is too thin. next time i'll use just one cake pan. this time i divided the batter into two cake pans because i wasn't confident of the proportions.

i want to watch 881 and so many other movies. incidentally, my piggy bank has hit $881 today.
