Chocolate lava cake
I had a craving for chocolate lava cake all last week. Since I own ramekins and was due for a trip to Bulk Barn anyhow, last night some chocolate was obtained, melted with butter, mixed with sugar, eggs, and flour, and made into lava cakes using a recipe I found by searching Google. B did most of the work, and quite well. 2 of the 4 cakes turned out perfect. The other 2 stuck, with 1 eventually coming out onto the floor and the other eventually onto a plate. B suggests that using flour instead of cocoa to "flour" the ramekins might have lessened that issue. Today I chipped only 1 of the ramekins while washing them, which could be a record for me.
The cakes tasted amazing. This is what they looked like, essentially, except that we had them plain without ice cream or raspberry coulee or any of the other fancy restaurant gimmicks. It's a little gross if you think really hard about it, that the reason the inside is runny is because those 2 eggs and 2 egg yolks in the batter haven't fully cooked on the inside. Still though... they tasted great.

My fiancé and I are off chocolate for lent; Easter will be a bigger-than-ever tummy ache this year. Normally, I would say that raw food is underrated, but raw eggs are a big exception.
