The other day this recipe was shared with me: King Arthur Flour’s Cake in a Pan. Now, I’m not a big cake guy, but it looked pretty compelling so I whipped it up. And it’s pretty easy and handy, since no eggs or butter is involved. I first decided to kick it up a notch by adding chocolate chips inside the the cake:
Ah crap, I don’t have a photo of the plain cake. Oh well. Anyway, it was good (moist and dense, closer to a brownie than a light and airy cake), but I decided to kick it up another notch by adding frosting and more chocolate:
I have to wonder how many more notches are available for the kicking up. I don’t know if this is a regulated area or not.
Anyway, it’s been quite a while since I’ve posted some pics, so here goes. It’s been more than two weeks since we put our xmas tree out, but that might have been too late:
No, that’s not what it looked like in the house. Here is a series I like to call, “Mallory in various seats.”
That last chair is our new-to-us craigslist find chair. It is David-nap approved.
And finally the obligatory messy-baby-while-eating-something photo.
I guess Mal also agrees that more is better.

Sounds like the cake was a success. And brownies trump cake any day.
Mal is adorable, as always!

You don’t like chocolate much, do you?
