  • We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - amateur Keith, home cook Daniel, and professional chef Penny from the Institute of Culinary Education - to bake us a chocolate cake. After each of them had presented their cocoa creation, we asked food scientist Rose to review their work. Which level takes the cake for you?
    Check out the level 3 recipe on the ICE blog: www.ice.edu/blog/peanut-butte...

    For everyone who is complaining about the level 3 cake, she still made a chocolate cake. Cakes are classified and named by the batter they are made with, not the icing or the filling. She used a CHOCOLATE batter, therefore it is a chocolate cake. Her cake is basically a chocolate cake with strawberry filling and peanut butter icing. The instructions were to make a chocolate cake and they did not specify that it had to have a particular icing flavor. All 3 chefs made chocolate cakes.

It would make the cake more appealing, softer and overall better. But then again he's a level two chef so yeah.

      (Not having watched his grilled cheese video but having heard plenty of complaints) blackberries in a grilled cheese sounds amazing actually! You just need to pair it with the right cheese, like a nice mozzarella or brie. Cheddar might be a tragedy, but so many cheeses pair nicely with fruit and sweet things!

    level 1: when you make yourself a birthday cake to celebrate alone, because you have no friends.
    level 2: your best birthday, all your friends are coming, and there are many presents.
    level 3 cake: your wedding cake, and you're marrying a Royality.
