Chocolate Cake for One

Hello everyone! I was in the mood for some baking on Saturday and decided that I would test out a new recipe. The recipe I chose was a German chocolate cake that was a single serving, which means no leftovers or hiding the cake from my family lol. However, I changed the recipe up a bit (for convenience) and it became more of just a chocolate cake. Here’s what you’ll need.

Cake:

-1 tablespoon + 2 tsp cocoa powder (8g)

-3 tablespoons flour

-1/8 tsp salt

-1 tablespoon + 2 tsp sugar

-1/4 tsp baking powder

-2-3 tsp coconut oil

-3 tablespoons milk of choice

-1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Glaze:

-1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons water

-1/4 tsp salt

-1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

-2 tsp maple syrup

-2 tablespoons powdered sugar

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a bowl mix together all of the dry ingredients (cocoa, flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder) needed for the cake using a whisk (or whatever you have to mix with). Add in all the wet ingredients (oil, milk, and vanilla) and mix completely. Split your mix evenly between two small ramekins and bake for 13-14 minutes or until they look done. You could also put all the batter into one ramekin and just bake it for a little bit longer, which if I had read the recipe beforehand and realized I wouldn’t be making frosting that’s what I would have done.

For the glaze all you need to do is mix everything in a bowl and pour over your finished cake. Even if it isn’t the frosting I would have made, if I wasn’t a dummy, it’s still good. I also added a smiley face using cookie icing just for an extra touch.

I hope you guys liked this recipe! If you want the original recipe you can read it here (hello fellow blogger :D). I also made a video to go along with this recipe which you can watch here. Keep watching my blog because more nail designs are coming soon. BYYEEE

L.A. Colors Color Last - First Impressions

Hey everybody! So I was walking around my local Walmart about 2 weeks ago and I came across a new display of nail polish for L.A. Colors Color Last nail polish. The polishes went for 2 dollars (I think anyway they were pretty cheap) and they claimed to last up to 10 days with the top coat. I decided I’d test that out because why not buy more nail polish that will inevitably dry out and be wasted, whatever. So that is what this blog post is for; I’ll be giving you my first impressions of both the actual polish and the top coat itself. The color I chose is called “Friendship” and it’s a neutral purple color with slight pink tones. It also has this weird glitter that you can only see when it’s wet or if you have eagle eyes. Anyway, it is a nice color (I used 2 coats) but I had a few problems with application. This particular polish did NOT go on smoothly at all and it looked really rough on its own. I contemplated testing the polish without the top coat on one hand for a bett

Hello 2017

2016 has finally ended ( finally ) and now it's time for a fresh start. I've been looking at old photos and trying to remember all of the good stuff that has happened in the pile of garbage that was the past year. I posted a whole sappy caption on my personal Instagram ( x ) and then I started thinking... What are my plans for this year? I haven't thought about it at all; I didn't even think 2016 was ever going to be over. However, I think I have some goals. First I want to look at my 2016 Best Nine from my nail Instagram ( x ) Apparently I only posted 19 photos this year yikes. Sorry that that happened I kind of feel bad about it. I really love my blog and I want to do A LOT more with it. I'll talk about that in a second though because next I want to restate my goals for 2016 that I wrote. Goals for 2016 1. Study: I slacked off this first semester with my school work and I think I could have done better. I really want to try this semester and next
