I was home alone today. Had a craving for something sweet. I remembered seeing recipe for a quick chocolate cake on Instagram. So I thought of making it for me.
I begin immediately without first rounding up all the ingredients (noob). I started with the wet ingredients. Measured them, gave them a good mix and then moved onto the dry ingredients.
For the dry ingredients, I required 3/4th cup of all purpose flour. Here is where I fucked up. All the types of flour were unlabelled and I didn’t call my mom to ask her which one is which. I mistook cornflour for AP flour. I used 3/4th cup of cornflour!! Realised my mistake only after adding the dry ingredients to the mix. So, instead of chocolate cake, I now have chocolate fudge.
For recovery, instead of microwaving the mix, I added some more milk. Boiled and then let cool to get a fudge/pudding.
TL;DR: Used cornflour instead of AP flour and made choco fudge instead of a cake.

At least it was salvageable! Just because I’ve never noticed cornflour in the baking aisle, is it the same as/similar to cornstarch?
Sounds more like a Bob Ross happy accident… As long as it’s edible
All the flour is unlabeled!?? How does she know which is which?? How does she know when it expires? This is unhinged.
Lesson learned lol. Corn flour looks nothing like regular flour though. That’s like saying “Why aren’t the salt and pepper labled? I put too much salt in my stew!”
