Crap, the zucchini bread was perfect too.... The batter kind of looks like puke, and I would suggest a shallower loaf pan (moist throughout, whereas the deeper pan left the middle a smidge dry - if you don't have it, don't worry about it). This was a really great recipe, and it went over really well. I actually had to wrestle the second loaf from the last of the cirkus-folk, ha.
-Recipe-
We also made a cake for a birthday party at work. How the request went from white cake with white icing to Hershey's cocoa something-or-another. Anyways, this recipe is on the back label of a jar of Hershey's unsweetened cocoa (go buy it, you'll need it for the recipe anyways). It's pretty simple, and doesn't take a very long time, but you (duh) have to make room for the cooling time before applying the icing. The recipe says to take the cake out of the pan about 10 minutes after pulling it out of the oven, and it LIES. We did this, and it fell apart. If anyone has ever had the fortune of perfect cake every time, icing a broken cake is a huge pain. Huge. Anyways, we made about 1 1/2 servings of the icing (which I think was hand-spun by Jesus). We had to tin-foil tent it so that the foil wouldn't lift the icing and, thereby, the fall-apart cake. This got great reviews, but I'll remember to leave it in the pan longer (at least 20) and grease it alot (COVER the pan in flour, just in case - if you're worried that too much flour would make it bitter, the icing will totally fix that).
