ChatGPT Tells You How to Bake a Cake, CrossFit-style 💪

Ready? 3-2-1-Go!

This is the prompt I gave to that crazy new A.I. kid in town, ChatGPT:

Act like a CrossFit coach and tell me how to bake a chocolate cake.

ChatGPT:

Alright team, it's time to tackle a new challenge: baking a chocolate cake. Here's how we're going to do it:

1. Start with a solid foundation. Just like a good squat, a good cake requires a strong foundation. In this case, that means preheating your oven to 350 degrees and preparing a cake pan with non-stick spray or butter and flour.

2. Mix your ingredients together like you would for a complex WOD. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 cups of sugar, ¾ cups of unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk these ingredients together until they're evenly mixed.

3. Add in your wet ingredients. Just like a good coach knows how to adjust for different skill levels, your cake recipe may need some modifications depending on your preferences. For a classic chocolate cake, you'll want to add in 1 cup of buttermilk, ½ cup of vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix these wet ingredients together until they're smooth.

   

   ChatGPT writing kinda tastes like vector art. It LOOKS like a cake but when you bite into it … 🤨

4. Combine everything into one delicious batter. Gradually add your dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing well until everything is combined into a smooth batter. Just like a good Metcon, you want to make sure you're incorporating every ingredient for maximum effectiveness.
