Have you ever wanted to try different flavors? Of course, you have! We all do! But most of us go looking for a new recipe every time we need to try a new flavor. And of course; if you are like me then you will try a few recipes before you actually settle for one.
The power of experiments
I love chocolate cake very much and I love variations in chocolate cake. I often will start making the cake and then go scan the fridge or pantry to look for what variations I can try today. All those little experiments have led to this one chocolate cake recipe with many different flavors. This is how my mom taught me as a kid. She thought me what recipes must have ingredients are and what are the ingredients you can play with and how you can tweak twist add or subtract. Baking in the kitchen with mom was my favorite as a kid. She’d make it so much fun by letting us leap to success or failures and still showing us that the most important was to have fun baking and learning.

No!! this is not the same as the calculated recipes in my online shop. I have similar flavors there too but those are my premium recipes. Please do not come back to me complaining that I am giving the same recipe for free. I repeat those are my premium recipes and calculated for the benefit of cake decorators like me. This is a basic recipe that is absolutely delicious and very easy to use and I use it for family and friends all the time.
