Craters of the Moon Cake

Servings: 4 to 8
Author: Shawn

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 100 grams
  • 4 Tbs cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 Tbs white vinegar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 5 Tbs melted butter
  • 2/3 cup Meteorites chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, nuts

Instructions

  • Directly into a 9- or 10-inch cake pan, measure out the flour, sugars, salt, and cocoa. Mix together thoroughly so it appears that you have a light brown moon sand.
  • Make a large crater in the center of the pan, a medium crater on one side of the big crater, and a small crater on the other side.
  • Spoon the baking soda into the medium crater. Measure the vanilla into the smallest crater. Pour the melted butter into the largest crater.
  • Pour the vinegar into the medium crater, right on top of the baking soda, so that the volcano erupts and lava flows over the surface of the moon.
  • Once the volcano subsides, pour the milk over the surface, flooding the moon.
  • Stir everything together until you have a nice batch of moon mud.
  • Now toss your chosen meteorites onto the surface of the moon.
  • Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the cake’s center comes out dry.
  • Let the moon cool in the pan, then slice and serve.
