A chocolate fudge cake for co-worker's of Peter who are having a birthday. Mexican vanilla for more flavor, buttermilk to give the cake tang and oven spring and Cinnamon Horchatta to add another dimension to French Chocolate Buttercreme. One can never have too much butter on hand.

Well My Stars and Garters!
For years I ranted against the narrow bowl design of Kitchenaid that always leave unmixed portions at the bottom of the bowl. I was very pleased to find the original style paddle worked perfectly and the bowl required no scraping. This model of mixer requires shifting gears to change speeds and if you do it while the mixers is running you can do severe damage to the gear box. The number 1 speed in the Model G is a touch faster than newer governor controlled motors so I'll need to be on the look out for clouds of flour dust.

The Best Part
If it can't go in the dishwasher I don't care to own it. No wasted water or depleted resources here. Not one drop of water used to rinse the dishes. After all, they do call them dishwashers! Nary a drop on the counter from the Model G.

Both a nice mixers, but I like the Model G better.
Taking Your Lumps
Room temperature butter is then beaten in a bit at a time. All at once the bad memories and blocked experiences came flooding back. It was nearly impossible to get the butter down the side of the bowl and into the chocolate mixture due to lack of clearance between the mixer head, the edge of the bowl and the top of the whip.

Never holler whoa in a mud hole
Another one of my father's Kentuckian colloquialisms. After scraping down the bowl and beater I raised the speed to gear 3 and turned on the mixer for the required 10 minute whip time. The motor stalled and faltered like trying to go up a steep high in 4th gear with a stick shift. Nothing to do but drop back to gear 2 and wait awhile. Eventually the mixture lightened enough to go to high gear. Remember, to change gears (speeds) you must turn the motor off and wait for it to come to a complete stop and then shift the gear before starting the mixer again.

Now I Remember
To mix the decorator icing I pulled out the Pro620. Everything about it is smoother, easier and more intuitive. So much like getting behind the wheel of the family car after a day driving a truck. The soft start, wide bowl and ample room allowed me to beat the frosting without a whisp of sugar dust or waiting to restart the mixer.

Beaten into submission
The motor on the Pro620 whines like a jet airplane. I seldom turn the speed past 4 for noise but more for even mixing and no bowl scraping. To illustrate my point, I have approximately 2 cups of icing and after beating it on speed 10 it is plastered against the side of the bowl and comes nearly to the top. Slow and gentle is my motto.
