I got so lost in the video that I totally forgot about the title of the post. And then it hit me with the last few lines.

Is it bad that I want to make love to that cake while Gordon Ramsey talks about that cake to me.

[u/dannyc93]

Oh my god wow

[u/drinkduff77]

Lies! That's vanilla cake with chocolate syrup, not chocolate cake!

[u/MrMagicConch]

When he was adding the chocolate I was like STOP PLEASE IT'S GONNA GET ON YOUR COUNTER OH NOW LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE

I bet there's an ungodly amount of erotic fan fiction about Gordon Ramsey.

[u/Potizzle]

He made a whole series in which it seems that he is always just a slice of butter away of getting naked and making love to the food. Nice recipes though.

Edit: grammar
