Step 4The unsuspecting victim!
I label this step "The unsuspecting victim! " because this cake will bite back.
You're thinking "well duh...its' a habanero cake!" However even when you fully acknowledge that when you take a bite you will taste some chocolate, some heat, some habanero...then is smooths out to just rich flavorful chocolate with the flavor (not heat) of the habanero...then just when you think the heat is out of your mouth and you go to get another forkful... WABAMM!!!!!!!!!! The heat hits you! (but don't tell anyone this, you will love to see their reaction)
Now back to that phenomena of the milk vs. habanero pepper acid. I have not done any extensive research on this but it is my hypothesis that this neutralizing chemical reaction will go on as long as you have the cake around. If you taste it right out of the oven it will totally knock you over. Let it sit a few hours and it will only knock your socks off. If you serve it the following day or two latter most people can eat it but it still has some bite to it. Let is sit for 3 or more days and it is pretty low on the heat scale but sill retains a lot of the habanero flavor.
So, enjoy this cake and just as much if not more, enjoy watching people's faces light up with surprise! Just remember... serve it with a tall glass of milk!
(Goes well after an OgreBurger!)

It's making me drool! Clever idea of making one like the thermometer on the salsa bottles! I have to try it someday!
