Simple Moist Chocolate Cake

A rich, moist one-bowl chocolate cake made with boiling water and cocoa

INGREDIENTS
• 2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water

STEPS
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cup all-purpose flour, 2 cup granulated sugar, 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp salt.

Add 2 large eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 2 tsp vanilla extract to the dry mix. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth.

Stir in 1 cup boiling water last (batter will be thin — that's what makes it moist). Mix just until combined.

Divide batter evenly between the pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. About 30 minutes.
Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
The boiling water is the key trick — it blooms the cocoa and keeps the crumb super moist. Frost with your favorite chocolate buttercream or ganache.

Honey Wheat Bread

A soft, slightly sweet honey wheat loaf with a tender crumb — great for sandwiches or toast.

INGREDIENTS
• 2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
• 1 1/4 cup warm water
• 3 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 tsp salt

STEPS:
1. In a large bowl, stir 1 1/4 cup warm water with 3 tbsp honey until dissolved. Sprinkle 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast over the top and let sit until foamy. ( 10 minutes).

2. Add 2 tbsp vegetable oil, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 2 cup whole wheat flour, and 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour to the bowl. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. ( 8 minutes).

4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled. (1 hour).

5. Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

6. Cover loosely and let rise again until the dough crests just above the rim of the pan. (40 minutes).

7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped. (35 minutes)

8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. (15 minutes)

NOTES
For an extra soft crust, brush the top with melted butter as soon as it comes out of the oven. You can swap up to half the whole wheat flour for more all-purpose if you want a lighter texture.

Life isn't always calm. Some days bring storms, disappointment, and waiting seasons that test our strength. However, just as this peaceful view reminds us, there is always beauty to be found beyond the struggle. When life feels heavy, take a moment to breathe, step outside, and admire God's creation, letting your heart rest. The challenges won't last forever, but hope can be found in the simple moments that remind us there is still peace, still beauty, and still a reason to keep going.

Yesterday, for the first time, I decided to take a stroll on this trail,. My first thought was, if I saw a dangerous animal, what would I do?
Hmmmmmm.
It was so quiet, all I heard was birds of different colours and sizes making some fearful noises.
It was a 5-kilometre walk.
