Alright, let’s talk about them desserts, the kind that, you know, got a lot of “coal” in ‘em. Don’t get me wrong, I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout no real coal, the dirty stuff you burn in the stove. I mean them desserts that are dark, real dark, like a lump of coal, but taste a whole lot better, I tell ya!
First off, you gotta know, I ain’t no fancy baker. I like things simple, the kind you can whip up without a fuss. So when I say “coal desserts”, I’m thinkin’ stuff like them chocolate cakes that are so dark, they almost look black. You know the ones? They’re moist and rich, and when you take a bite, it’s like a little piece of heaven, even if they look like they came from the devil’s kitchen.
- Chocolate Cake: Yeah, this is the king of “coal desserts”. You can make it plain, or you can fancy it up with some frosting. But the darker the cake, the better it is, in my book. Some folks like to add nuts or chocolate chips, but I say, keep it simple. A good chocolate cake don’t need no fancy fixin’s.
- Brownies: These are like little mini chocolate cakes, but chewier. And again, the darker, the better. I like the ones with the fudge-like center, the kind that stick to your teeth a little bit. Those are the good ones. You can eat ‘em warm, with a scoop of ice cream, or just straight outta the pan. Ain’t no wrong way to eat a brownie.
- Black Forest Cake: Now this one’s a bit fancier, but it still fits the bill. It’s got them dark chocolate layers, and cherries, and whipped cream. It’s a real looker, and it tastes as good as it looks. But it can be a bit of a pain to make, so I usually save this one for special occasions.
Then there’s them other “coal desserts”, the ones that ain’t necessarily chocolate, but still got that dark, mysterious look to ‘em. Like that “ashure” pudding they call it. I heard some folks call it “Noah’s Pudding”, sayin’ it’s made with all sorts of grains and fruits and stuff, looks kinda grey and thick, but tastes real sweet and hearty. It ain’t somethin’ I make every day, but it’s good for a change.
And let’s not forget them blood pancakes from way up North. Heard they call ‘em “Veriohukainen” or somethin’ like that. Sounds scary, I know, but they ain’t really made with blood, not anymore anyways. They’re dark and thin, and you eat ‘em with syrup or jam. I ain’t never had ‘em myself, but I hear they’re mighty tasty.
Some folks are always lookin’ for somethin’ different, somethin’ unique, they say. Always tryin’ to spice things up, like them city folks with their fancy recipes. They take somethin’ simple and turn it into somethin’ you can barely recognize. But me? I like to stick to the basics. Give me a good old-fashioned chocolate cake or a pan of brownies, and I’m a happy woman.
But I guess there’s nothin’ wrong with tryin’ new things every once in a while. I remember seein’ this recipe for individual flan made in a milk carton, they call it “flan for one”. Sounded kinda strange, but the picture looked real smooth and creamy, and it was a dark caramel color, almost like them “coal desserts” I like. Might have to give that one a try someday.
So, there you have it, my take on them “coal desserts”. They might not be the prettiest things to look at, but they sure are tasty. And at the end of the day, that’s all that really matters, ain’t it? A good dessert is a good dessert, no matter what color it is.
Baking Tips for “Coal Desserts” (for folks like me who ain’t no experts)
- Don’t overmix the batter. Just mix it until it’s combined. Overmixin’ makes it tough.
- Use good quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the dessert.
- Don’t be afraid to experiment. Try addin’ different nuts, spices, or extracts.
- And most importantly, don’t worry if it ain’t perfect. It’s gonna taste good anyways.
So go on, bake yourself somethin’ dark and delicious. You won’t regret it.
And remember, even if it looks like a lump of coal, it might just be the sweetest thing you ever tasted.
