CHOCOLATE CHUCKLE CAKE




I baked a cake yesterday. I allowed it to bake an extra five minutes and it still fell in the middle. I covered one piece in canned raspberry pie filling, and later had a piece with fresh strawberries. Both were delicious, but more like having a moist brownie with fruit than a piece of cake. Another case of "making due" that may not have looked incredible, but tasted just fine.  I identified with my cake.
There are those who would refer to me as "half baked".

Will I make this cake again? Sure I will. I will simply set the oven higher than 350 degrees. I'm one of those "try, try again" people. I'll get it right eventually.  I'm not in life to impress anyone. I'm here for the fun of it all. I have more fun sharing my "failures" than my successes now. When I succeed I just grin and carry on. It's when I fail that I run to find someone so I can share a chuckle.
