Confession.. I don't like baking chocolate cakes. When someone orders it, my heart sinks a little. Why? because they dry out so quickly while cooling. I really don't know why that happens. I've tried changing recipes, include more fluid (eg hot water) but still I wasn't satisfied. Hot water helped though until I stumbled on this recipe on theplayhouseblog. Amazing! and guess what, no mixer needed. It could also work as a brownie recipe if you are not into the very moist brownies. Also you can change this recipe into a peanut butter cake! Just replace the cocoa powder with peanut butter. Thank me later.
