It’s the day after the shortest day of the year, and my hopeful plan to be “good” has lasted about 36 hours! Layer Cake June has resulted in layers on me, I fear.
Having been a Salad Muncher and mostly starving all day, I was going to just make a quick and dirty microwave steamed pudding, and then I realised that if one is going to indulge oneself with unjustifiable calories, then the calories should be worth it! Enter these Little Chocolate Lava Cakes, which take you from desperate to happy in less than 20 minutes.
These little chocolate lava cakes are super-quick to mix, and are simply delicious. Best of all, if you overcook this mixture, while they won’t be Lava Cakes, they will still be still be amazing! Just drown them in liquid cream or let a scoop of ice cream melt over the top. Speaking of microwaving, these will cook in about a minute on high… but they won’t have molten centres.
I’m going to say they fit in Layer Cake June because they have a cooked layer on the outside and a molten layer in the middle. I’m also going to say that they are healthy because (ahem) they don’t have much flour in them (ahem).
