There’s been some talk over at Scott Adam’s blog as to what he should buy his fiancée for Christmas.
(I, of course, nudged him to buy her a 100% cotton woven throw with a picture of Ada Lovelace)
Someone else mentioned that he’d never go wrong if he bought something off Oprah’s Favorite Things list.
Huh? I said. So I went off to investigate and found (among other more appropriate gifts) this recipe for Uncle Abe’s Favorite Chocolate Cake.
Ingredients for cake/filling/glaze are:
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 10 oz. + 4 oz bittersweet chocolate
- 6 large eggs
- 1C + 1 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. sugar
- 1t. vanilla extract
- 2C + 1/2C heavy cream
… and that’s basically it! What’s not to like?
