Cake(?) Pudding

You'd think that making a box cake is simple. I mean they come premixed and with instructions. You add a total of three ingredients. Mix. Put in pan. Bake. Cool. Done? I dont know what happened, but it was my roommates birthday and our mutual friend decided to make him a cake. All three of us are pastry students. and something just went wrong. The cake came out and it was like it was undercooked, but to leave it in any longer would burn the top. So we scrapped it, and got a new box of cake (without telling the birthday boy) and this time I made the cake. That one came out fine, but now we had this giant sheet cake that was edible but not good enough to frost and have as a cake. Ingenuity is a life saving trait sometimes. And sometimes its just a great trait to make something tasty out of a mistake.

Kind of a new spin on an old idea born from a mistake. Man I love when that happens
