Hello! My name is Daisy. I love baking and have been doing it for almost a year now. I began baking because it was a way for me to distract myself during this whole pandemic. At first, baking was just something to do for fun, but then I began doing it more professionally and started selling my cakes. I enjoyed trying out my own recipes and changing things to my liking. To me, baking is like an experiment. You can easily add or take away any ingredient to make it unique to you. Baking is also known as art, and a way to express yourself like any other form of art. Not only that, but it was a great way for me to feel closer to my great grandma, who has passed away. When I was younger and would go visit her in Mexico, we always had so much fun baking together. I am excited to share with you all one of our favorite recipes.  

Ingredients needed:  

  • ¾ cup vegetable oil or melted butter 

  • ¾ cup sugar  

  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract  

  • 3 eggs  

  • ¾ cup flour  

  • ¼ cup + 2 ½ teaspoon cup cocoa powder  

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder  

  • ¼ teaspoon salt   

To begin, preheat your oven to 350°  

Then in a large bowl mix together the oil, sugar, and vanilla extract. Add the eggs and mix until well combines. 

In another bowl mix the flour, salt, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Slowly add the egg mixture to the flour mixture.  

Lastly, pour the batter in a pan lined with parchment paper and bake for 25-30 minutes.
