So I tried to make a lava cake thing tonight. It tasted AWFUL! It seemed really simple, I halved the recipe to save on some butter, and baked it in little spring form pans. I bought raspberries and blueberries to serve it with, thought about making whipped cream, (but am glad I didn’t, it would have been quite the waste). It was to be the end of a great valentines out.
The end result was sugary and gross.
I usually have great success with baking and new recipes. However this was just a disaster.
I find myself asking was it the cocoa being old? Was it the flour? Did I not mix the sugar and eggs long enough? Not clarify the butter right? I have mastered angel food cake, cream puffs, breads and pretzels but this simple recipe seems to have eluded me. So for now I ditched the left overs and will not try this recipe again. Though maybe I’ll keep my eyes out for a new version with less sugar.
It also might be time to buy new cocoa.
