Book Reviews of Heavenly Chocolate
Book Review: Don't waste your time unless you're into gambling.
Summary: 1 Stars
I agree with the other review. The chocolate almond cardamom cake recipe called for baking powder in the list of ingredients, but in the directions, no mention of using it in the recipe. I thought the technique was off. The recipe called for "very soft butter" rather than melted which would have made the base mixture much easier to handle (it was super stiff). I have another recipe for a chocolate almond cake that calls for melted butter and it makes a much nicer (looser) batter that makes it much easier to fold in the beaten egg whites. This batter was so stiff I thought it was seizing up on me. The chocolate didn't seize up, but it seemed to be heading in that direction. Also, the baking time was way off---my cake was done in about 35 or 40 minutes, but the instructions called for an hour in the oven, which would have led to an overbaked and dry cake. And finally, it didn't taste very good. I had high hopes because I love cardamom in pastries, but it just didn't pair very well with chocolate. But that's just my personal opinion. Someone else might like it. But for all the other problems, I give this a thumbs down. Seems like a very sloppy untested book of recipes that was rushed into print.
