"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Jesse that's too funny. Seriously. If you weren't a girl I'd kiss you.

You must not have watched the halftime show, Burrell. Otherwise, you'd have the gay!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'd try beating it

(no homo)

errm, seconded. The creaming butter and sugar phase incorporates a lot of air into the batter via the whipped-up butter, so even if using a liquid sweetener gives a shortcut to combined, you're still losing out if you don't get it well beaten somehow.

I always like to bust out with a "Methinks the lady doth protest too much" when I hear guys getting too vocal about how very manly they are.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, I was going to cream the butter anyway, but it was my understanding that the sugar was in that step because of its structure. If agave nectar is going to weaken the creamening, or even not particularly benefit it, then I'd rather cream the butter alone.

I swear, a big part of the socialization in my (freshman) dorm was guys proving they were straight.

Having to prove your straightess is just so gay.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think when you cream butter and sugar you are dissolving the sugar into the butter more than adding the crystalliness to the butter. And you'd still want the agave distributed through the butter.

Puppies! That Maltese/Schnauzer mix looks a lot like our dog Boots, who was our dog throughout my teenage years, especially in that pic when he's in the bathtub.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I think I'm so desensitized to poor reasoning skills and homphobes hiding behind some twisted corpse of Christ that the thing that bugs me most about the FCC letters is the spelling.

Seriously, it's almost malicious how bad the spelling is.

I think when you cream butter and sugar you are dissolving the sugar into the butter more than adding the crystalliness to the butter.

My understanding was that the crystalline structure of the sugar helped aerate the butter. If agave dilutes the butter (it seems to be more liquid than honey and maybe maple syrup) then it'll be harder to trap the air than if I creamed the butter solo.

And you'd still want the agave distributed through the butter.

Also, in many cakelike recipes that start out that way there is a later step where you alternate adding flour and the rest of the fluids to the batter--those fluids are distributed through the batter completely--I was wondering if the agave was better suited there.

Experimentation will tell.
