TIFU while making myself a quick dessert.
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.
