De-Stressed Baking


I woke up on Saturday at 4.30, ran starting at 5, and finished work at 4.30pm. I came home ready to relax. This is what I did. The cake is the Cook's Illustrated chocolate snack cake (fudged because I ran out of vegan mayo -- I used some old sour cream, which probably wasn't a great idea -- too dense). The cookies are from 101 Cookbooks, thanks to David Lebovitz. Really super tasty.

Yum! For my own benefit, I'm including the link to the cookie recipe here:

There's a particularly luscious chocolate cake at the Henion bakery that owes its lusciousness to an ample dose of mayo. I've always wanted to try a vegan version. (Not that Mr. I-don't-like-chocolate would care one way or the other, and he'd probably be grossed out by even vegan mayo. Oh well.)
