So I did one of my favorite rainy day activities: baking! I've always loved baking, but given the fact that I'm usually only baking for myself, I don't do it as often as I like. I don't need a whole cake or three dozen cookies just for me (although my coworkers love me for bringing in leftovers). Hence you can imagine my extreme delight in discovering a cookbook called Small Batch Baking. All the recipes are scaled down to serve one or two people. It's like this book was made just for me!
Today I decided to try my hand at making miniature chocolate cakes. I got out my new handy dandy cookbook holder that I got for my birthday (thanks, mom!)....I don't know how I ever lived without one.
How might one make miniature cakes, you may ask? With tin cans!
Here are my little cakes after they came out of the oven. Patiently waiting for them to cool...
Et voila! The finished product! There's even a filling in the middle.
The whole process was actually quite easy. And afterwards I just have to throw away the cans instead of washing cake pans! I definitely recommend this book for all my single (or newlywed) friends who like to bake.
