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

Firework Nails

Hello everyone! If you live in America then tomorrow is an exciting day for you, full of celebration. With that celebration comes amazing fireworks. So, without further a do here are my Independence Day firework nails. The polishes I used were Sally Hansen's "Co-balt Blue" (#320), "Red My Lips" (#470), "Silver Sweep" (#230), and "Grape Shifter" (#423), NYC's "French White Tip" (#134), and Blackheart Beauty's "Deep Sky Blue". I also used a nail dotter to create the fireworks. I started by painting the base colors on my nails, alternating the colors on each finger, and letting that dry. I chose to do my fireworks on the navy blue nails, but you can do them on the red or even on all the nails if you choose. For the fireworks I started with a dot for the center of the firework and added a red star there. Remember, the center of the firework does not have to be in the center of the nail (I only did that on one nai...

Miracle Gel "Game of Chromes" Review

Hello everyone! I recently purchased another nail polish from Sally Hansen’s Miracle Gel collection called “Game of Chromes” (#510) and I thought I’d write a review for it today. Frist of all, the name is genius. Secondly, lol, the color is gorgeous. It is really shiny and when you move your fingers under the light it kind of looks like it switches between silver and gold, like a hologram or something. It is just a really nice color if you are looking for a solid nail design that isn't super boring. I also really liked the formula of the polish. It went on very smoothly (just like the others from the line did) and it was opaque with one coat. When I used the top coat (which you have to buy separately unless you get a kit and it’s expensive but whatever), it lasted a long time with no chips. It still isn’t chipped and I could keep it on, but I redo my nails every week lol. That is all for today, but you can check out my most recent YouTube video here, or look through...
