So I've just baked this egg free chocolate cake and it doesn't taste of chocolate.
Do you think I can just add a few more table spoons of cocoa powder? :unsure:

I am really not very good at baking at all. My brother is a baker as well, he would be ashamed :ermm:

what you should do is make a ganash and spread it over the cake

boil water put a bowl over it with milk and add chocolate to the milk yummmmm

Well yes Allen, the reason for that is, is that he is a baker, who starts work at 8PM (Belgian time), so I can't get a hold of him.

As for the ganache thing, it still won't conceal the utterly bland taste of the base.

I got a quote from a cake shop to make an egg free cake for 8-10 people. Do you know how much she quoted me???

Prices STARTING from 50 quid. 50 quid??? For a sponge cake with some icing sugar on top.

I'm on the point of discovering your problem, here.

Try adding some eggs.

I can't. It's for Ben's birthday and he's allergic to eggs.

It's a reply to Kev. He said to try adding some eggs.

Ben, my wee boy, can't have eggs, therefore I can't add them to the cake.

So.

Leaving out the eggs leaves out the chocolate taste.

Can't imagine why.

True story.

Damn sqweeky..You've surely been obsessed with food lately haven't you...Reason I'm saying that is cause that's all you seem to be posting about lately. It's a little harmful to talk about food around these guys skwweky, I hope you know that

Hey guys, if you end up looking like elephants by the time Skweeky gives birth, you know who to blame.

True story.
Eggs enhance the flavor and richness of chocolate.
We are used to chocolate thus amplified, without the eggs you're actually getting a more "real"- if less enjoyable- chocolate flavor.

I knew reading Alton Brown would come in handy.

I know a lot of rich girls that have a cake problem too. I should start selling cake, but I'm scared of getting caught and doing the hard time.

I should go with perk pills instead
