I wasn’t sure what I was in the mood for to have for dinner tonight… I kinda wanted pancakes, and I do really like my oatmeal pancake recipe… which I’ll get around to posting on here at some point… but I wanted something a bit different.
Enter, the baked pancke.
So the other day I wrote up how to make a nice, WLS friendly, yellow cake. This all started with a recent BTV episode where they made a 35-second chocolate cake. You can get the original recipe in their forums, but me being me, I had to tweek it to my own needs. And it turned out rather well if I do say so myself, and this one is easy peasy. While the yellow cake calls for complicated baking procedures like “creaming”, if you can make chocolate milk and microwave popcorn, you can make this cake.
In a recent episode of BariatricTV titled Food Porn they made 35-second chocolate cake. I tried a variation of it last night and it was very good… but when it comes to cake, my favorite is yellow cake. So after consulting with my favorite cook (Alton Brown and a Good Eats! episode) I came up with the following..
This is based on my instant-oatmeal pancakes… the recipe for which is being tweeked over time and I’ll post in full here soon.
Tonight though, I wanted something different for dinner and made chocolate waffles with a cherry sauce topping. The chocolate taste comes from protein powder, and with mine was fairly subtle. Which is fine, I wanted just a hint of chocolate. This was dinner, not dessert.
