Single Life is Sweet

On Valentine's day, as a treat for myself, I really wanted to make a chocolate lava cake. However, all the recipes I searched for made more than one serving. Could I really eat that many lava cakes? Actually, it's more like, "should I?" Because I definitely can. And you know what? I'm not really watching my weight, so I will. The recipe I ended up choosing was from Taste of Home, and it yielded 4 servings. I cut the recipe in half to make 2 servings which I guess meant 1 serving for Christine ;)

This was my first time making a lava cake, so I didn't know what to expect with the process.

I was so excited to use the skills I learned from playing Cooking Mama in separating the egg yolk from the egg white. Cooking Mama would be proud.


I LOVE my heart ramekins.


There's a little tumor looking bit in one cake, because I poked it while it was baking.


I turned it out onto a plate


And dusted with powdered sugar and the leftover chocolate from what I used in the cake.


And oh my goodness, it was good. I am so glad I made two.

Happy Valentine's day!
