Ever since I watched the tv show about the Harry Potter cake, I have had this nonstop craving for cake……..I daydreamed about it all day at work on Friday and last night I literally dreamed about it………when I woke up this morning I knew what I had to do………..
I went to the store and bought a chocolate cake mix (I could have made one from scratch, but I don’t have enough patience for that). I also had to buy a mixer because I was too lazy to try to stir it by hand.
Well, the cake itself turned out lovely and chocolatey and not burned at all (which in my oven is something to be said), however there was one little hiccup………..when I went to make the frosting I realized that I don’t have any powdered sugar………….now most people would just look for a recipe without powdered sugar in it, but oh no, not me………….I decided to just throw a bunch of things together and call it good.
This is what it looks like:
I thought I would be creative and add some peanut butter so that is why it is that color………the main reason I did that was because it was just too liquidy to spread……..I haven’t tried it yet, because I have been letting the frosting “set.” It’s gonna be pretty sad if I spent my whole Sunday afternoon working on this only to have it taste like rubbish………I’m off to have a piece now, so we will see how it goes.

EDIT: The cake was fabulous!!!! Unfortunately I don’t remember exactly what I threw in the frosting, so recreating it could be a problem. Another problem is that my carbon monoxide detector started going off………now I’ve got my sliding door all the way open and my fan going at top speed. ugh.
