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?

Strawberries in a chocolate cake? I bet when somebody asks her for a chicken sandwich, she includes spam. Because it compliments the chicken, obviously.
Not my favourite level 1… too messy but in a bad way.
Penny cake look effortless and amazing
I’m surprised Daniel actually has chocolate in his chocolate cake. I know how creative homeboy likes to get with his dishes.
i just realized these vids all say 4 but there only 3
Usually confidence isn't a bad thing: But, level 2 needs to toneit down a little bit. That way there is room to improve and grow.
You cannot pour into a cup that is already full
Yeah…. my chocolate cake trumps all three because it's actual chocolate cake plus i do three layers. In the middle I do a brownie layer, chocolate butter cream on the inside then chocolate ganache on the outside. You do not add fruit, if you do then its not a chocolate cake same with other ingredients like coffee and peanut butter… entirely different cake.
Level 3 chef is like sookie in gilmore girls!!!!!
Please never bring the level 1 guy back again
Why is the amateur level 1 cook always so sloppy?
Our queen is back
why is it that the level 3 chef made a cake that ISNT chocolate even though thats the theme? like, she could definitely do it, shes a chef??? she herself called it a peanut butter jelly cake. idk seems unfair lmao
Penn needs a comb brah. Her cake is dope tho
Lvl 1 left slot of chocolate behind in the first bowl noooo
I clicked on this video because of Penny and Daniel, but this 0 level tiktok driven creature and his "cake" is making me wanna vomit, if he says "like" or "you know" one more time I swear to god..
Micheal Rosen liked the video
This level 1 chef is gay for sure
Universe: You can't be that bad.
Level1 chef: Are you challenging me?
