Recipe Fails

Sometimes my recipes just don't turn out. Here are my latest fails. 

Eggnog Pound Cake adapted from All Recipes. It starts out all well and good. Lots of potential. Pound cake and eggnog what could go wrong?

The timer goes off and this comes out

A giant caved in cake. BOOOOOO

Second fail, this recipe for hot chocolate. My issue with this situation was that I could NOT get it smooth. It was just bits of not melted chocolate and sort of gritty when you drank it. SAD.

I think I'll let my sister make me homemade hot chocolate from now on because hers is delicious.
