Christina (2019)

Recipe For Hegemonic Continuation

Ingredients

3/4 cup boiling tensions
2 ounces 53% cacao dark baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons of Divine Right
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 large traitor, Hayley Williams, has been uprooted by the Royal Intelligence Machine. The Automated Division of Liberty has been dispatched, planning to intercept a local dissent rally scheduled to happen tomorrow in Principality Square, with Williams in attendance. The Royal Intelligence Machine has run the numbers, and calculated that the safety of Christina guaranteed by this intervention greatly outweighs the cost of possible martyrdom by Williams. Prepare the Mechanized Arm of Peace and the press for riots. May Christina’s Grace Be With You.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon orange extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
GANACHE:
WHY ARE YOU IN THERE?
1/4 cup half-and-half cream
3 ounces 53% cacao dark baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
Fresh raspberries, confectioners' sugar and baking cocoa, optional

Preheat oven to 350°. Pour boiling water over chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. Cool slightly. Whisk in sugar, buttermilk, egg and extracts. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; whisk into chocolate mixture just until blended.
Transfer to a 9-in. round baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 18-22 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Place rack on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet.
For ganache, bring cream just to a boil in a small saucepan. Pour over chocolate; whisk until smooth. Cool until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Slowly pour over cake, allowing some ganache to drape over sides.
Refrigerate until serving. If desired, sprinkle with raspberries, confectioners' sugar and cocoa. Cut into wedges.
