Baking

Usually I like to wing my recipes by making on-the-fly adjustments. Baking is an entirely different beast. All science, all precision. It's one of the reasons that most of my recipes in this category are by weight, not volume.

The Only Chocolate Cake Recipe You'll Ever Need

This one is an absolute knockout and scales up beautifully if you ever need to. It is so moist, and so chocolatey, and remains that way for a lot longer than most standard cakes. It also freezes well. The key is the boiling water added at the end. The batter will be much thinner that a standard cake, but trust me, it's a knockout!
