Armed with the knowledge that I would be doing "work" at home tonight, I decided I wanted to munch on choc chip cookies whilst working. Unfortunately, to my utter dismay, my dad used up all the flour in the house, and so i was stuck with my 1 egg, 1 cup of sugar, butter, and bag of choc bits. However, being the clever clogs that she is, my sister suggested that I make a flourless chocolate cake with the ingredients, because well, i didnt need flour for a flourless cake *duH*.

Now, i must say, I'm an okay baker. I've baked some fabulous things in the last three months including loaves, tarts, cookies, and cakes.. so it was with great excitement that I beat at those egg whites for approximately 40 minutes until "stiff peaks formed". After slaving away for what seemed like eternity folding the mixture in and beating bits and pieces, i put the cake into the oven for an extra 40 minutes and patiently tapped away on my laptop whilst researching AS4308 (haha smart term thrown in!).

Upon opening the oven door, I noticed that it was really quite ugly. Not to worry, the recipe itself had warned that the cake would collapse completely given the lack of powder. And so, i took it out and attempted to remove it from the pan. That's where it all went wrong.

I present to you my sorry excuse for a chocolate flourless cake. (It tastes okay though! Just have to eat it by the spoonful)
