From scratch?


No, really.

Y'all have probably figured out that I am a cake-mix sort of girl. The only "cakes" I bake from scratch are rather esoteric ones, like Texas Sheet Cake or my great-granny's apple cake that is really just apple chunks coated in barely enough batter to turn into cake when it's baked.

But I just put a pound cake in the oven. A Mexican Chocolate pound cake. Made from scratch.

OMG y'all - What. A. Mess. Melted baking chocolate, dry ingredients mixed together in a separate bowl and added alternately with buttermilk, yada, yada. I have every set of measuring spoons and half the measuring cups in the house (both liquid and dry) soaking in the kitchen sink, covered in (a very tasty) chocolate-cinnamon goo.

Worse yet, I think my Bundt pan is a 10-cup instead of the 12-cup called for in the recipe. Pray for me.

But man, the house smells good...
