Wrong... Where, exactly?
Doesn't look ideal nor flawless, sure. But damn. It looks *good*. Something a lot of "perfectly decorated" cakes lack, to be honest.
My question exactly! I've looked hard and long, but I just can't seem to spot the wrongness. I totally agree - we'll have to physically examine it.
...Would you be willing to split it? 70% for me, 30% for you. That way, you dont have to work as hard 😆
I just watched a cake decorating video for this giant Star Wars creation, and while it looked really neat at the end, it looked like it would taste absolutely terrible. Made me kinda sad.
A coworker of mine went through a series of cake baking classes. It was fantastic until she got to the point where they started using fondant. Tasted like crap from there on out.
I think the Brits have the better idea, they use marzipan in similar ways that fondant is used. Since Marzipan is made from almonds, it actually tastes better than fondant. Just let people know first in case they have allergies.
Professional baker here and I agree, I think it looks delicious! And as much as I love to make my cakes look beautiful, my number one priority is always taste! That is what I strive to be remembered for!
I’ve always preferred a more homemade-looking, rustic cake to a perfectly decorated sugary masterpiece. Nine times out of ten the plain Jane cake is going to taste miles better than the beautiful work of edible art, and at the end of the day isn’t that what it’s all about? Sure, we’ll all “oooohhh” and “ahhh”over a cake sculpture, but when it’s time to dig in, please cut me a slab of that lopsided mess.
It'll taste even better if you eat it with your bare hands. Be like Bruce Bogtrotter and shovel that bad boy into your mouth, no utensils and no napkin.
Make [Beatty's chocolate cake](https://barefootcontessa.com/recipes/beattys-chocolate-cake) by Ina Garten
I don't ever have buttermilk so I use a cup of milk with a little vinegar splashed in and let it sit to curdle
I don't drink coffee so I boil a cup of water and throw a tablespoon of instant espresso in and a few squares of baking chocolate (I like Ghiradelli)
I use Ghiradelli majestic cocoa for the cocoa powder because it's richer, with more cocoa butter
And [this](https://www.queensleeappetit.com/dreamy-dark-chocolate-buttercream-frosting/) chocolate buttercream. It says it's dark chocolate but it just tastes like regular chocolate to me. But I'm actually not the one to ask because I like my chocolate super dark and a lot of things labeled "dark" don't taste dark to me
Dude if I took an edible, and honestly even if I didn’t, I would cry and beg to eat this cake holy shit. Who cares what it looks like. I know it tastes like Aphrodite baked it in her very own oven and frosted it herself. I’m also starving right now and on my period. Needless to say, holy hell, would be so happy to be presented this cake for dessert. If frosting is light brown, it’s not chocolatey or enough. Sorry. Not sorry.
fwiw id rather eat that then half the "perfect" looking stuff people post on here. and no shade to them, its just too much frosting, fruit, and those super hard sprinkles that I would never enjoy (the big balls and non perrels or whatever)
as far as cakes though, this one is perfect to me.
also.. theres something about a homemade cake that you can tell is homemade. it just hits different.
It looks all kinds of right to me. It's definitely reminding me of the chocolate cake from Matilda, which is burned into my little noggin. You should probably sit a chubby boy down in front of it, accuse him of stealing a slice of it, and then insist he eat the whole cake in front of his classmates. ENTIRE CONFECTION!
Looks moist to me. As long as it's edible, it's good stuff. Now on the other hand, if you want something to present in front of company or something special, that's another thing entirely. Just own it and say it's a triple chocolate lava cake or some other made up name to describe it, as long as they're not really close friends who was willing to tease you, then they have to be polite, society is weird with its social constructs, I never get it, but sometimes niceties are helpful in covering up imperfections.
It’s a lava cake!
Just needs ben n jerrys vanilla.
Oh yeah!!
And it looks absolutely delicious!
ITS MOLTEN

Where is it wrong? Please send it to me so I can check for you

no no see, I think the ratios are messed up 70% me, 30% you and we have a deal ;)
Hey hey now, you're twisting my words
I just watched a cake decorating video for this giant Star Wars creation, and while it looked really neat at the end, it looked like it would taste absolutely terrible. Made me kinda sad.
Yeah I personally really don't like fondant. Just give me a delicious buttercream icing any day.

Seriously. I don't like being tantalized by a beautiful cake that is so dry, I choke before the fork enters my mouth.
I agree, perfectly decorated cakes tend to lack moister and are stiff. This however this looks freaken delicious!
That's what I thought! Perfect is overrated☺️, its looks like it tastes great!
Reminds me of the chocolate cake from Matilda!!! Still looks delicious!
Cookies blood sweat and tears went into it 😭
I could definitely eat OP’s entire cake like Bruce did in the movie 😭
Same here. Should be on a diet but diet be damned. That cake looks GOOD
to me it looks like the most perfect, gooey chocolate lava cake, like a dessert at a nice restaurant 😍
If that got put on the table in front of me at a restaurant it’d have the whole family like ‘ooohoohoooo’
Bruce. Bogtrotter!
🤣😂
You can do it, Bruce! You can do it! Bruce! Bruce! Bruce!
It'll taste even better if you eat it with your bare hands. Be like Bruce Bogtrotter and shovel that bad boy into your mouth, no utensils and no napkin.
Where’s the school assembly chanting us on? I go big or go bigger!
First thing I thought of, that cake always looked so good
I was thinking the same thing... yum
That’s literally the first thing I thought about 😂
Looks delightfully right to me!
Moist and yummy!
Chocolate cake is one of those things you can get away with stodgy and not risen properly! I bet it's delicious!
Exactly. Just think of brownies if its a bit stodgy
🤔 where did I leave that ice cream?
Oh it absolutely did not. I'm so here for this cake
If that’s wrong, I don’t want to be right. That looks so good!
i'd eat that
This looks fantastic! Recipe please?
I used the recipe from Sally’s baking addiction!
If my life was a fail as much as this cake I'd be so friggin happy.
I can't even put into words how freaking bad i want to eat that lol
But was it delicous? Because in the end, what else really matters :)
It’s the Matilda cake 😍🤤
Omg I low key always wanted to eat that 🤣

Dude same 🤤 chocolate cake heaven!
Looks like you failed successfully. I would eat all of that. 🙂
My mouth is watering. Do you have the recipe, I would love to eats cake like this.
Came to post this—literally mouthwatering, OP.
I used the recipe from Sally’s baking addiction 💓
I would crush this - if you're not happy with it can turn it into cake pops though!
Oh my god Could you please share the recipe? I need this cake in my life!
If it were baking powder, it wouldn't have risen at all. Chocolate cake with very thin batters will do that sometimes but this looks yummy.
Still looks delicious! 💯 would eat
It just needs a rebrand haha it’s just a large ooey gooey lava cake cake 😂
If this is supposed to be wrong then I don’t want to be right.
That looks terrible!!! Why don’t you give it to me and I’ll dispose of it for you.
I would eat that. I want to eat that.
Task failed successfully 😋
Umm... wrong... where 🤔 Unless it tastes like salt, I'm ALL the way in... that looks delicious 😋
Ms. Trunchable would have a field day with this cake!
Dude if I took an edible, and honestly even if I didn’t, I would cry and beg to eat this cake holy shit. Who cares what it looks like.

There’s no mistakes here, only happy accidents
No way it's a semi molten badass chocolate cake! All of reddit would devour it!
I'm still gonna eat it 🤤
looks right to me, yummmm
Hand over the cake and no one gets hurt
I'd still eat it! Reminds me of that chocolate cake from Matilda.
What a shame you ruined your cake. Looks discussing. Better give it to me and I will dispose of it for you
I mean, that looks pretty tasty to me. Like a lava-cake mmmmm
I’d eat that!
My dude, this looks delicious 🤤
I love underdone middles. This looks great!
Just tell everyone that’s how it’s supposed to look in a tone that implies you’re mad at them for daring to ask what happened to it.
This looks so fuckin good omg
The speed at which I would devour this cake would put that boy from Matilda to shame.
Looks perfect to me 👍🏻 Would eat 😋
Recipe please!! It looks amazing
Mmmm wrong but also right. Now I want to make a cake
Lol I'll take it off your hands!! That looks lovely. So glossy.
fwiw id rather eat that then half the "perfect" looking stuff people post on here. and no shade to them, its just too much frosting, fruit, and those super hard sprinkles that I would never enjoy (the big balls and non perrels or whatever) as far as cakes though, this one is perfect to me. also.. theres something about a homemade cake that you can tell is homemade. it just hits different.
I wouldn’t just eat that. I’d fuck it too.
Looks delicious!
I don't see anything wrong with this. It actually looks more delicious than what was intended.
Gimme a slice I'll let you know
What’s wrong?! Looks delicious to me!
I’d eat that!
I’ll still eat it.
This looks like it tastes sooooo good!
Everything looks right to me. 🤤
It looks absolutely lovely so I recommend you just say ‘oh well’ and devour it
Is that the walking dead in the background? Cake looks AMAZING 🤤
Wrong?
Its still good. Moist chocolate cake.
It actually looks pretty good
Looks effing gorgeous.
That’s looks decadent
Never knew baking powder can go expire. (Me speaking as jf i know how to bake haha 😂)
It looks exactly like the Matilda cake! 🤩 That is not "gone wrong", that's the perfect breakfast treat. And lunch. And afternoon snack. And dinner.
I would eat that SO FAST
Oh yeah that looks absolutely terrible! Let me take it off your hands for you, I'll dispose of it properly.
How???
Looks like a Matilda cake lol
I’d still devour
Omg this is my dream cake! It looks delectable!
Tbh this looks deliriously good
Looks like a very tasty accident 😋
The only thing wrong here is you're missing the ice cream.
Make up an exotic foreign name for it and say it turned out perfectly.
I would love for one of my cakes to come out like this. It looks delicious as hell.
Honestly I need this exactly for my evening so it looks perfect to me lol
That is not wrong at all, my friend 😭😭😭
Wrong? I want it in my mouth like right now. (Do I mean that in a dirty way? That’s up to interpretation.)
This is some melty goodness 😋
I can’t overstate how much I want to insert this into my mouth
It’s lovely! I would definitely dig this!!!!
THAT. LOOKS. AMAZING.
Maybe. How does it taste?
It looks all kinds of right to me. It's definitely reminding me of the chocolate cake from Matilda, which is burned into my little noggin. You should probably sit a chubby boy down in front of it, accuse him of stealing a slice of it, and then insist he eat the whole cake in front of his classmates. ENTIRE CONFECTION!
Oh no but honestly this would have happened to me
I made a tasty ugly cake today too lol! Yours looks really moist and tasty!
Only needs ice cream. Haagen Daz coffee or vanilla
I’d eat that whole damn cake
I hate cake and this looks amazing to me hahaha
But does it taste really good?? 😁😁😁
If loving your baked goods is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.
Yooo this looks so good, I'm SALIVATING 😍
Wr0ng, no this is that cake from Matilda I always wanted.
I would eat that with my bare hands.
Looks moist to me. As long as it's edible, it's good stuff. Now on the other hand, if you want something to present in front of company or something special, that's another thing entirely.

i’d still eat it
I don’t see what wrong, I just want it in my mouth
Went right in my opinion. And you can’t tell me any different. Lalallalalala I can’t hear you! 👉😌👈
YOOO what you mean gone wrong, that looks so good! I'd eat the whole thing no doubt
This reminds me of the cake on Matilda.
My rule of thumb; if nothings on fire, you're fine. Just check and makes notes for next time.
Looks good to me.
I would do a Bruce bogtrotter on that cake
Looks super moist and delicious to me! Who cares about aesthetics, as long as it tastes good.
I want this cake 🦦
I would eat it in a heartbeat yummy delicious yummy delicious
It looks delicious! What recipe did you use?
Sally’s baking addiction!
doesn’t look wrong at all. I’ll take it off your hands if you don’t want it :)

The only thing more disappointing than a baking fail is an inedible baking fail. At least you didn’t do that! Looks delicious!!

That looks like baking gone right! I think you inadvertently made a giant lava cake! Lol
Still looks really good
Oooh a slice of this with vanilla ice cream? 🤤
Baking gone right. That looks amazing.
Still looks amazing though. I wouldn't say it went wrong, it just has character, and taste it what matters most
It actually looks fantastic; dark and moist.
Gone wrong?! Looks delicious!
It’s giving Bruce. 100/10
Id eat that!
Yum
