Chocolate Peppermint Bundt Cake

-

 This is actually the first ever bundt cake I made. If you do not know what a bundt cake is, it's basically a fancy cake sort of in the shape of a donut. This recipe is for a chocolate bundt cake with a chocolate glaze and crushed candy canes on top. I could not find peppermint extract so I used almond extract and it gave the cake a slight almond-y taste. Also it is too early to find candy canes so I just used some Christmas sprinkles. You can find this recipe here.


Appearance- This cake looks amazing! Because this is my first time making a budnt cake, mine kinda fell apart at the top but you can't really see it because of the glaze. The dark chocolate color goes really well with the sprinkles. I would rate the appearance 5 out of 5 stars! 


Taste- It not only looks good but it tastes twice as good! This is one of the best cakes I have ever made. The chocolate is sweet but not too sweet and it's rich but not too rich. I would rate the taste 5 of 5 stars!


Difficulty- This recipe was not that hard but you need to use a stove and a bundt pan. You need to butter your pan really good or the cake won't come out. I would rate the difficulty intermediate. 


Overall- overall I would rate this recipe 5 out of 5 stars!

  Angel food cake is a fluffy sponge cake made with egg whites, flour, and sugar. Unlike other cakes, it doesn’t use butter. The Baker’s Corner angel food cake box comes with 2 packets and all you have to do is add 1 ⅓ cup water. I dont have an angel food cake pan so I used a bundt cake pan. After cutting a slice from the cake. I decorated it with whipped cream, blueberries, and strawberries for Memorial Day. If you would like to try this recipe the front and back of the box will be shown below with the other pictures. Appearance- Because I baked my cake in a bundt pan instead of an angel food cake pan, mine has a round top and not a flat top. I think this cake looks beautiful and fluffy. It is white on the inside and golden on the outside. I would rate the appearance 5 of 5 stars!  Taste- This cake doesn't have a whole lot of taste to it, the toppings really add to it. It was moist and spongy. I would rate the taste 4 of 5 stars.  Difficulty- The box includes easy to rea...

Simple Scones

       Scones are one of my favorites! They are a great breakfast food. I added butterscotch chips into mine and it made them taste very good. I read in the comments on the recipe that you should use a food processor instead of a mixing bowl so I tried that. It really didn’t work for me because my food processor was small. If you would like to try this recipe click here. Appearance- These scones remind me of slices of pizza. They are a tan color and the butterscotch chips add some variety. I would rate the appearance 5 of 5 stars.  Taste- I think these taste really good! They do seem a bit dry and crumbly though. I would rate the taste 5 of 5 stars. Difficulty- I think making the scones in a food processor was supposed to make it easier but for me it didn't. I would rate the difficulty intermediate.  Overall- Overall I would rate this recipe 5 out of 5 stars!                ...
