Scenario 1: You have friends coming over, you’ve made everything but the dessert…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 your cake doesn’t rise properly? What if you put too much baking soda in the batter and the taste resembles that of the new toothpaste you just purchased? And what if, just what if you, forget to add the sugar!? Now that would be some cake! 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 a 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! So have your cake and eat it to this time, bake this Inside Out German Chocolate Cake!
