@gansie love the thai inspired cake. Would a kaffir lime icing be too much?

@gansie, I think we have a cooking date… I realised today that you and I have never cooked anything before, I think we should do this. Let’s make it work.

what about using coconut milk and maybe some dried chilies for a funky thai-inspired chocolate cake?

Oh @dad gansie, love the idea of chocolate syrup, but next time I make the chocolate tomato cake it’ll be from scratch, no box.

@Katie, if I liked pumpkins enough that would be great too, perhaps something else for the texture, fudge always rules.

I made chocolate cake years ago using a box mix and tomato soup. It’s actually kind of “old school.” And, you’re right, it adds lots of moisture and a different flavor. Of course, I’ve even made ice cream with tomatoes and loved it … so did others, too. Pumpkin was mentioned in combination with chocolate. Avocado can be used with cocoa and sweetener to make fantastic puddings, mousses, cakes, etc. Bottom line–it can be fun and delicious to use produce in baked goods.

Thanks for sharing! Happy Holidays!

Dear Britannia:

This reminds me of my first day at Central High School in Philly, our English teacher (dept head too) gave us a homework assignment. It was a Henry Thoreau poem:: which basically said everyone beats to their own drummer….and lady your surely do with this one…enjoy, please next time you make it freeze a piece and get it to Gansie.

by the way, maybe you eser’s might like to really keep the brownies tasty is to ADD CHOCOLATE SYRUP in stead of water

TO ALL OUR ES’ERS::

HAVE A SAFE, FUN HOLIDAY SEASON & HAPPY NEW YEAR….ESPECIALLY IN GOOD HEALTH

This may be obvious, but a can of pumpkin with a chocolate cake mix is delicious! More like fudge than cake, but still great and more nutritious than making the cake as directed.

you know I LOVE tomatoes, but in a chocolate cake? Can’t really imagine it. I like adding orange zest to boxed dessert mixes: it really brightens them up. I think adding pomegranate juice would be amazing.
