Summer bakin' in the oven,

Baked (or in a safer expression, attempted) a batch of mini chocolate lava cakes - the simpler version of it, that is.
Didn't had the appropriate baking tin for it so made do with whatever I had in hand; tasted quite good even though it didn't really looked very aesthetically pleasing (didn't use the folding technique to get rid of the air bubbles, hence the holey appearance, oh the memories of Home economics)
Used a recipe but the proportion of the ingredients were dubious so I tweaked a bit:

1/2 cup of butter
1/2 cup icing sugar
6 tablespoons of flour
2 eggs (yolk included)
90% dark cocoa chocolate
1 teaspoon Vanilla essence

Paper muffin cups (optional, didn't use them)

1/2 cup of butter

1/2 cup icing sugar

6 tablespoons of flour

2 eggs (yolk included)

Didn't use the paper muffin cups in the end, too flimsy

90% dark cocoa chocolate











The middle chocolate was supposed to be runny though, but I used the muffin pan instead of the bigger baking tin for it so it was pretty much expected.
It turned out pretty soft and nice with cake texture gradually increasing towards the outer corners.
Can't quite describe it in words so I think I'm exaggerating a bit; taste best warm.





My friend baked them too, and he kept it in the fridge. Makes good brownies in that way he says! Kept mine in an airtight container and lasts for about 4 days max.
