Easy Chocolate Mousse » Chocolate Mousse Cake Recipe
Wonder Cake
Time had muted the bright yellow paintwork to a gentle primrose. Cheerful gingham curtains fluttered at the window and Wellington boots evocative of country rambles lay in happy abandon by the backdoor. Kitchen utensils hung from racks on the wall, their burnished metal gleaming in the soft evening light. An appetizing aroma of cooking hung in the air.
Meena and Rhea rang the door bell. Cindy opened the door wiping her hands in a towel. “Are we early for the experiment, Cindy?” Queried Meena and Rhea. “No, no. You’re in time. I was just clearing the kitchen. So that we can work better without any casualties.” Cindy explained. “Hi Meena and Rhea. Good to see you two here. How are you all doing? So it is cake this week. I’ll taste it after my siesta” welcomed Tom, Cindy’s husband. “We both are fine, Tom.” Chorused both Meena and Rhea. “I’ve the recipe for brown cake from our neighbor.” Announced Rhea. Meena said, “Cindy you need sugar, dark chocolate, cocoa and sugar.” “Hey, how did you know? Have you tried this one by any chance?” enquired Cindy. “No. Just a wild guess.” Laughed Meena. “Rhea shoots. Let’s get started. While the cake is baking we can talk and plan our next experiment in Meena’s place.” “We’ve been conducting all our experiments well the pst six months. That’s very unusual for us.” Wondered Rhea. “Take your original inspired ways of thought and perception, add in some extra souped-up communication skills, and mix in with new people and interesting art or performance…. May be a new recipe for life is ready. Our next week’s experiment recipe. How is this for a change?” “Oh, Meena!!!” All three screamed. “Okay. Let’s get on with it. No time for humor today. Don’t write, what to do?”
So Cindy got all the ingredients, Rhea read out the method and Meena mixed it and the cake went inside the oven. After full thirty minutes. “Why is the smell so awful?” “It’s chocolate, Cindy. It probably smells like this while cooking.” “Meena, do you have idea how chocolate smells while cooking?” “Rhea, rush and see what’s cooking. Otherwise we’ll have a charcoal cake in our hands.” Rhea yelled, “See what is happening to our cake.” Cindy and Meena followed her. They were stunned. “Why has it sunk inside the pan?” Queried Meena. Meena immediately took out the original recipe and asked, “I don’t remember adding any baking powder or soda in the cake?” “Those are not good for health. That is why I omitted it.” Rhea told. “Oh my God!!” Cindy and Meena chorused. “Rhea how can you bake a cake without a baking powder or soda? That is the basics.” Cindy told. “How do I know, Cindy? I have not baked cakes before. This is my first try.” “Now what can we do, Cindy?” “We cannot do anything now. Let’s give it some other name and serve it.”
As the cake came to the dining table, Cindy’s son came inside and took out one piece, “Nice chocolate Mom. Tastes yummy. Rhea aunties leave the recipe with Mom. Don’t take that away...” With those words he went to his room and closed his door shut.
Tom and her younger daughter were there too to taste the new dish. All were looking at Tom and were waiting. He was silent. “Tom, we are waiting for your reaction.” Cindy asked restlessly. “It is stuck all over my mouth and I cannot speak. My teeth are wedged too...” Tom teased. Dolly said, “Mummy this is yummy chocolate. Will you make it for my birth day?”
All three of them were relieved by that remark and were proud of their wonder cake. No one breathed any word about the blunder.
