As its Christmas and everyone always eats way to much I decided to try and bake a diet Cocoa Chocolate Cake recipe I found on a popular food website.
I was not impressed with the results as the cake did not rise very much at all, (even with my second attempt at the recipe which I substituted the Plain Flour for Self-Raising Flour) and the cake seemed very dry while eating. It would probably be okay with custard or ice cream but that kind of takes away the point of a diet cake really.
Hay-ho and all that, this is the first and last time I bake diet style.
This week I also rolled out the Marzipan and placed it on the Christmas Cake... I love Christmas =] =] =]
Next week I can put the fondant icing on it and try to decorate my first cake... I better start practicing making models and things with play-dough... its almost the same consistency as fondant.... maybe.... maybe not, but still worth the practice I think. See next week if it pays off.
