Ok, so my pal Dave brought this up so I thought I’d post. Unfortunately I only had a copy of it on CD so the final mp3 has some stutters — aside from the awkward track combinations at times.

Cake

· Unsalted butter and flour for pans
· 2 cups granulated sugar
· 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
· ¾ cupScharffen Berger unsweetened natural cocoa powder
· 1 teaspoon salt
· 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
· 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
· 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
· ½ cup canola oil
· 1 cup whole milk
· 1 cup boiling water

Frosting

· 1-1/4 cups granulated sugar
· 1 cup heavy cream
· 5 ounces Scharffen Berger 99% Cacao Unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
· 8 tablespoons (4 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch pieces
· 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Method

For the Cake:

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter the bottom of two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottom with parchment paper, then butter and flour the parchment and the sides of the pans.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder, and baking soda, mixing on low speed. Mix in the eggs, oil, and milk.

Increase the speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and mix in the water. The batter will be soupy.

Divide the batter evenly between the cake pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and cool on a cooling rack for 5 minutes, then turn the layers out onto the rack and cool completely.

When the cakes have cooled, check the frosting. It should have the consistency of mayonnaise. If it is still too thin, allow it to cool longer.

For the Frosting:

In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and cream and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Reduce the heat and simmer for 6 minutes. Add the chocolate and butter and stir until melted. Pour into a bowl and stir in the vanilla.

To Frost the Cake:

Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread the frosting with a hot palette knife or icing spatula to give the frosting a beautiful shine. Run the knife under hot tap water and dry with a towel. Spread about ¾ cup of the frosting over the top of the first layer. Top with the second layer. Spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake, heating the knife again as necessary.

Serves 8 to 10

… I’ve never followed the instructions for the parchment paper or used Scharffen Berger chocolate, but I’ve made this now for myself and others and every time it’s amazing.

Fudha.com

So I’m stoked to be working on an exciting new website called Fudha.com. For the past few weeks we’ve been cranking on the functional aspects, signing up restaurants, spreading the word and getting excited for our first offer  – it drops March 1st!.

The concept is simple. Every 24 hours, Fudha offers an exclusive deal at one of the best restaurants in your city (starting with our hometown of Columbus, OH). We’ve convinced these restaurants that our concept benefits everyone. Our customers get a great deal, restaurants get new customers, and we all help feed the hungry — via a per-sale donation to the Mid-Ohio Foodbank.

We’ll also be having our launch party/fundraiser this Sunday, Feb 28th, 2010 at 1pm at Barrio downtown. Join us for some complimentary mimosas, and a great brunch! Proceeds benefit the Mid-Ohio Foodbank as well.

The website is also pretty amazing: http://www.atowncalledpanic.tv/

Every moment dies a man,
Every moment one is born.

… If this were true, the population of the world would be at a standstill. In truth, the rate of birth is slightly in excess of that of death. I would suggest [that the next version of your poem should read]:

Every moment dies a man,
Every moment 1 1/16 is born.

Strictly speaking, the actual figure is so long I cannot get it into a line, but I believe the figure 1 1/16 will be sufficiently accurate for poetry.”
