Chocolate Cowboy Flop Cake

You may be wondering why I called this a ‘flop’ cake. Well, it’s because when I cook I’m usually doing two or three recipes simultaneously~~my nature is to multi-task, and that’s what happens in the kitchen! From photographing, writing down recipes as I’m creating, washing pots, skillets, dishes to having to team up two recipes in the hot oven~~usually, it’s not a problem. However, in this case, as this sweet cowboy cake was giddy upping in the oven and puffing up ever so tenderly, yes, I opened the oven door, put in a tray above them on the rack, and then shut that oven door just a tad bit too hard! And, this is what happens, the cake flops!

Chocolate Cake

Which of the treats do the sweet tooth like so much? Chocolate, of course! But the chocolate cake is a special treat for them. Chocolate cake is one of the best family treats. It’s simple enough for an afternoon tea but special enough for a party too.

Chocolate Bundt Cake

And, here’s one more thing about making cakes. You decide what you want to bake it in; while this recipe can be for a bundt pan, as you can see I used a ceramic skillet. And there was enough batter left over to make a small bread pan of it. That’s what being bohemian in the kitchens all about. Put your unique twist, spin, and personality into what you create~~it’s good for the soul and spirit!

What is flop cake?

It is not necessary to spend a lot of time at the stove to prepare an original treat for the festive table. You can limit yourself to simple options that are not inferior in appearance and taste to gourmet dishes. For example, you can make a delicious flop sandwich cake. Swedish almond cake is a lifelong love for those who have tasted it.
