That time again

It's exam season. So of course I am procrastinating

I had this little urge to bake so I popped over to David Lebovitz's blog for inspiration (he's a famous pastry chef...or at least one of the few I know of)

Then I came across this recipe for an idiot-proof chocolate cake called "Chocolate Idiot Cake"

duh

Just what I want! Something simple and quick that can get rid of these baking urges so I can focus on studying...

And then I saw the ingredients list:

10 ounces (290 g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
7 ounces (200 g) butter, salted or unsalted, cut into pieces
5 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup (200 g) sugar

5 eggs.

5 LARGE eggs

And I'm really reluctant to use so many eggs

Hmm..it's a reasonable amount right??

It's no reason why I shouldn't bake right?

Haha it's also the reason why I won't make kaya at home anymore...or attempt to make the indonesian kuih lapis - because I know how much sugar and eggs go into these recipes

I think I'll sleep on it and see what I think of it in the morning.
