Midnight madness: near-disaster chocolate cake


I didn't have all the ingredients to begin with but I was compelled to give it a try. It must be an off-timed compulsion from having seen too many of Rachelle Allen's baking show at Discovery Travel and Living.

So I baked even if I didn't have baking soda to go with the baking powder. What resulted was a dense-like cake that went flat in some portions. True to Hershey's word, the chocolate hits the spot. It's deep dark and totally satisfies the craving. I had a good half of once cake before I willed myself to stop.

While I ate, I pondered on whether to add frosting to it. As of last night I managed to stave off the saccharine-devils in my head, but my mind may yet change because of expected guests on Sunday.
I have a feeling they'll expect the icing. I think it's quite nice and healthy like this.

Big plus: the entire house smelled of heavenly chocolate while I baked!
