No matter your reason behind cooking or understanding how to cook you should always begin with the fundamentals.

A number of them are going to require using the microwave and some of them will need to be cooked or at least prepared before hand and reheated. The choices are virtually limitless as soon as you understand the creative concept that must be in place.

Halloween is just around the corner and I decided to make a cake instead. A simple cake actually. None of those cakes with colorful fondant decor; that's not my palate. You should know how I love my cakes. Dense, moist, not sugary sweet, no fake coloring and most importantly flavorful.
I had been scrolling thru' Pinterest for ideas and this Black Velvet Cake lit the light bulb. Gizzi Erskine and the great Nigella Lawson both have their own spins to it. I think I stole a bit from both and combined it into this version. A velvet cake, black or red, is not a velvet cake with a traditional ingredient: the sour cream. It is that tangy aftertaste that symbolized velvet cakes.
If you can't get your hands on black cocoa powder, you can still use Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
My secret ingredient for this recipe is ghee. Yes! It adds an extra oomph to this cake as compared to butter. Why don't we get started with the recipe? Here I wish you lovely fine people a very Happy Halloween!
