multipurposegoddess Finally made the Chocolate Fallen Soufflé Cake. Hooray for standing mixers, that's for sure, but as long as I have my beloved Kitchenaid it's not a hard recipe. I do not understand how it has no flour. That just doesn't make sense to me. And yet, somehow it's cake. Yum. Some of it is almost surely going in the freezer.
I had saved the poaching liquid from making, shoot, I forget the name but it's basically chicken poached with ginger and garlic and served with dipping sauce. So the poaching liquid is like a light chicken ginger broth. Used that as the liquid to make a custard, browned up a little ground chicken and stir-fried bok choy, a carrot, and some shiitake mushrooms for the garnish and made actual pastry dough for the crust (actually made enough for, like, 9 crusts, so I can experiment further pretty easily) -> a delightful little quiche. I should be able to make one, maybe two more before I run out of vegetables.
I still need to start my challah dough tonight. Why am I doing all this baking when it's so hot? That makes no sense. The things you do for bountiful egg season. At least the bread should have no trouble rising.
