Tabicakes Turns One!
As of tomorrow, April 25, 2008, Tabicakes turns one! It's my blogiversary! Believe me, I'm as surprised as anyone. Honestly, I don't have the best track record at follow through. Let's see, I have yet to really start the family cookbook I said I would put together a couple of years ago, the dining room chair covers I made (three years ago) are on the chairs but have never been hemmed, and I could go on.
When I first started this blog, it was on a whim after I viewed a lot of food blogs. I saw some really wonderfully inspiring ones - Culinary Concoctions by Peabody and Tartelette - and some really terrible ones. Aiming to fall somewhere in the middle, I had a new camera, and nothing to loose. Are there future plans for my blog? I don't know. All I know is that in this moment, I enjoy it. Happy Birthday Tabicakes!
Normally I don't encourage "healthy" desserts for special occasions, but Husband and I still have that trip to Mexico next month. (Yikes! We better get busy). Besides, Tabicakes isn't a real person anyway. She'll be fine with a lighter cake.
This cake was delish! From Martha Stewart Living Magazine, Double-Chocolate Cake, was advertised as "You can have your cake and eat it too." Per serving: 261 calories, 8 g. fat, and cholesterol free.
My changes:
1. So there was a limited supply of leftovers, I halved the recipe and baked the batter in ramekins.
2. I cut the sugar in half again, so there was only a 1/4 of the sugar originally called for in the cake.
3. I used unsweetend chocolate in the glaze, so that was a little less sweet too.
Husband and I don't like super sweet desserts, so we thought these were fine changes. They made for an intense chocolate flavor.
