Once again, this cake was made nearly exactly the same as the previous two cakes, however the recipe said that the chocolate mixture needed to be cooled down nearly completely before adding the flour and eggs. Luckily it didn't take long at all for it to cool down, by the time I was finished measuring and sifting the flour and eggs etc the mix was basically cool enough to add straight away. I'm not sure why Bluehue's mix took so long to cool down in comparison to the rest of the recipes, perhaps I heated it up a lot more??? This mix probably only took about 15 minutes to cool nearly completely.
The other difference with this recipe was that it called for milk instead of the water that was used in the previous two recipes. We'll have to see how the taste changes with the milk instead of the water.
The cake didn't rise quite as much as the previous two cakes, however I used a heating core in the center while baking so not sure what difference that may have made. It also, like the other cakes, cracked dramatically on top.
Cost:
This cake came out being the 2nd most expensive cake behind Bluehue's cake. I calculated it to cost me $7.35AUD. I think this is largely because of the milk being used in place of water and it, like Bluehue's cake, called for nearly twice the amount of sugar as the rest of the recipes used.
