Chocolate Lava Cake

Ok...chocolate lava cake. Dog said, "Oh! It's SO EASY!" right. There is a reason I'm not an "influential blogger"!!!


first batch. He said, "Use a regular old cake mix (did that)...bake it at 450 degrees ( did that) for about 15 mins. (did that). This is what I got...COOKED ALL THE WAY THROUGH!!! NO LAVA!!!


Second batch...So I thought, "Ok, I'll leave it in for 8-9 mins...that should do it." NOPE. still COOKED ALL THE WAY THROUGH!! WTH??!!!


So I will try it again tomorrow....but leave it in just until they start to puff up....still at 450 degrees. then I will try it in a lower oven and see if that makes a difference. he said my oven must be BOOMING in the heat dept.

I suck at baking.

My daughter and I took a truffles class last Saturday. I had the ugliest truffles in the class.

Just pour hot fudge over it...doesn't that make everything better?

I used to have a recipe for a cake that you mix in the pan, and then you pour boiling water mixed with cocoa and sugar over the whole thing, don't stir it and bake it up....when it comes out it has the sauce.....mmmmmmm. It was a low fat recipe too, if I ever find it, I'll let you know. It may be in storage. Ho hum.

ok lets look at it this way - those cupcakes came out perfect - now go in with the mind set of making perfect cupcakes and take them out WAY before they are done!

haven't you learned yet that our beloved doggy has a tendency to leave out key ingredients or directions when telling us how to cook something??

Use your head for something other than the hair stylist! Of course, I'm one of the few that actually understands Doggy... :)
