Cake FAIL

My mom watched a Korean tv show last night about baking so today she decided to try and bake a cake, fudge marble cake to be exact. Unfortunately, I was at school until late, so she was left all alone to bake the cake by herself.

After school I went home to my defeated looking mom, and I asked her what was wrong.

"The cake explode in the oven!" she said.

I walked over to the oven and to my horror, I saw this:


"What did you DO to it, mom?" She showed me the back of the cake box and pointed to the word "batter."

"It says here put one cup butter in the cake!" she said, without a hint of recognition. "I wonder, why one whole cup butter? But I try to be honest to the box recipe so I put whole tub butter!"

"Mom, it says pour one cup of BATTER in the pan, not BUTTER," I said, pointing at the words.

"Oh, mistake," she said, smiling and laughing at her misstep. I went over to try a bite of the ruined cake, and to my surprise, my teeth felt something hard.

"Mom, are there walnuts or nuts in the cake?"

"Yes, after the cake started to explode, I thought, oh well, I'll put trail mix in!"

...just another day in the sitcom that is the Kim family.
