Chocolate Lava Cake

This is my third attempt to recreate a Chocolate Lava Cake recipe I found. (http://www.noobcook.com/chocolate-lava-cake/) I can't seem to get the results like the ones in her picture. My first attempt, the cakes were under baked. I called it Chocolate Lava (without the "cake"). For my second attempt, I called it Chocolate Cake (without the "lava").

And this is my third attempt. I still don't get the same results as hers. I followed the recipe, (except that I baked it for only 9 minutes) and still didn't get that "lavaness". Although I would say that her recipe is quite yummy. Maybe for now, I'll just call it chocolate cake for it's really a great chocolate cake recipe. Not so sweet, and very moist chocolate cake.

Maybe I'm not for baking desserts? I don't know. At least not for now.

Chocolate Crinkles

A few weeks ago, my little brother bought a box of crinkles from the grocery. Well, not exactly. What he picked up was a box of Chocolate Crinkles Mix. Oh well, might as well do it.

My favourite chocolate crinkles is from Good Shepherd. I love its very moist and very soft chocolate fudge goodness. So far, nothing beats crinkles from Good Shepherd.

Anyway, so I'm trying out this crinkle mix from the grocery store, so here's what I used (as stated in the instructions):

1 Chocolate Crinkles Mix (200g)
1 medium egg
2 tbsp oil
Confectioner's sugar


1. Preheat oven 190C

2. Mix in a bowl oil, egg, and chocolate crinkle mix until smooth.

3. Roll the mixture into a ball and coat it with confectioner's sugar.

4.  Place the chocolate balls on a cookie sheet 1.5 inches apart.

5. Bake for 5 minutes or until done. Do not over bake.

6. Let it cool. Serve

Since this is just store bought mix, the taste of the crinkles is pretty much generic. Nothing special. I guess my version of chocolate crinkles would be yummier (stay tuned!). Well, at least I freed up a small space in my mini pantry.
