Scenario 1: You have friends coming over. You’ve made everything but the dessert. Admit it! You secretly hope someone brings a dessert…

Possible Scenario 2: It’s your husband or wife’s birthday. You’ve bought them a card, the perfect gift, but you forgot to pick up the cake. Better yet, like Michelle from The Culinary Sherpas, all they really wanted for their birthday was a homemade birthday cake and you didn’t make it because…well, the thought of mixing cake flour with leaveners and sugar sends a bolt of terror down your spine!

What if the cake doesn’t rise properly? And what if, just what if, you forget to add the sugar!? Well, I’ve been there and done that. My trashcan has even gone on strike as a result of my cake baking failures. But that was then and this is now. Now, I don’t have any excuses because Greg from The Culinary Sherpas, inspired by Chef Mary Laulis, baked a cake for his wife Michelle, an Inside Out German Chocolate Cake that she says only has a ‘low degree of difficulty’.

That means we can bake a cake and still have our hair safely secured to our heads afterward! This time have your cake and eat it too, bake this Inside Out German Chocolate Cake!
