Tara o' brady's cinnamon walnut mud cake
Cakes
While I first baked this cake for ease (it's essentially four steps), I return to it for its character (and, also, its ease!). Simple steps (and pantry ingredients) produce a cake that's chocolatey but not bitter, moist but with a sandy quality, and with a textural divide that makes it like the pillow-top mattress of desserts, its lighter, impressionable top supported by a firmer, fudgier undergirding. <br /> <br />It might be, oh, 800 years old in internet time (<a href="http://sevenspoons.net/blog/2009/10/9/of-true-affection.html">posted on Tara's blog, Seven Spoons, in 2009</a href>), requiring no skill greater than cracking an egg, no special equipment, and certainly no butter babysitting, but in my world, it's timeless.
