Todayās baking fail brought to you by yours truly! This is a perfect example of why recipes exist and why it is crucial to follow them exactly! I started off short by 1 egg for my cake and I thought to myself āOkay no big deal, Iāll just substitute 1/4 cup vegetable oil instead, itāll be fine!ā WRONG! Then I got to my frosting recipe and noticed not only did I have no egg yolks, (a quick store run was made because you just canāt skip this ingredient in this particular recipe) but I also only had a single can of condensed milk (14 oz worth) when the recipe called for 16 oz, and I only had half the amount of pecans the recipe required. Once again I thought to myself āOkay, 2 oz isnāt THAT significant, Iāll just eyeball the measurements on every other ingredient making them all slightly less than called for in order to make up for it, š¤·š¼āāļø itāll be fine! After all, this cake is just for me to eat itās not going anywhere special.ā WRONG AGAIN! The cake was moist, yet super fragile and crumbly at the same time, and my frosting wasnāt as thick as it shouldāve been. š©š The overall flavor was really good, but visually speaking it most definitely couldāve been better! Long story short, thereās are two things to take away on this PSA. 1) Donāt stray from the recipe, as it serves a purpose and is there for a reason, and 2) always always ALWAYS mise en place before getting started! #ooey #gooey #ooeygooey #crumbly #moist #hotmess #germanchocolate #cake #bake #fail #bakingfail #recipesarethereforareason #psa #miseenplace #wordsofwisdom #citrusandsalt #citrusandsaltbakeshop
