| 0:00.0 | I'm Molly and I'm Matthew and this is spilled milk the show where we cook something delicious, |
| 0:09.1 | eat it all and you can't have any. |
| 0:10.8 | And today we're talking about flourless chocolate cake. |
| 0:14.1 | That's right. |
| 0:15.2 | Which was suggested by me and I can't remember why. |
| 0:19.3 | Me neither. |
| 0:20.4 | Yeah. Have we done just chocolate cake? I think this might be a thing we keep saying we're going to do. Didn't we do like Texas sheet cake? Has that been on our list for a while? I think it's been on our list for a while and it says Molly's going to make it. Oh. Does Molly know anything about this? No. Okay. This is how I remember it, yeah. I mean, I don't really remember. I mean, we've done like layer cakes, I think. Did we do layer cakes? I don't even know. Why are we talking about this? Do we even have a show? Like, has this all been a hallucination? It's been a beautiful dream. Okay, that's true. |
| 0:58.7 | I wondered why every week we record on this cloud. |
| 1:05.2 | Yeah, I mean, I wondered why I never remember what we record after the fact. |
| 1:07.9 | And it's the same way you just forget most of your dreams. |
| 1:29.8 | Yeah, we should keep a dream diary so we know what our past topics are. Yeah, let's do it. All right. All right, by flowerless chocolate cake, we want to specify that we're not talking about like lava cakes or molten chocolate cakes. Yeah, which I think we should do a separate episode on. They're not that different. It's basically the same thing, but maybe with a little flour and you underbake it. But let's do a whole separate episode on that. But the other thing about those is they tend to be single serving. |
| 1:33.0 | Yes. |
| 1:33.4 | And this, I made like a full-size cake. |
| 1:35.7 | Yeah, yeah. |
| 1:37.0 | Matthew, where does your memory lane begin for this? |
| 1:40.5 | Okay. |
| 1:40.8 | So this was definitely a thing when I was a kid in the 80s, and I have never been a fan of, like, cake. Okay. So this was definitely a thing when I was a kid in the 80s and I have never been a fan of like |
| 1:47.5 | cake, like sponge cake. So I quickly realized, oh, if it says flowerless chocolate cake, I'm going to |
| 1:54.5 | like it. Because like I never even liked like chocolate sheet cake, which is weird because I like |
| 2:00.2 | chocolate everything. Is it like that you don't like it or is it that it does nothing for you? It's that it does nothing for me. Like it's not like egg salad where I like, you know, you could chase me down the street with it and I would like run a hundred miles an hour like a cartoon character. Just like I'd eat it like, yeah, okay. It's fluffy. It doesn't taste like much. |
| 2:19.0 | But a flowerless chocolate cake can be like dense and fudgy like a brownie. That's right. |
