This week’s TWD recipe is Gooey Chocolate Cakes and was chosen by Leigh of Lemon Tartlet
I have always wondered how to make those chocolate cakes with the oozing center, so I couldn’t wait to try this recipe. I was really happy that this was not such a large scale recipe - 6 mini cakes was the perfect amount.
I imagined my spoon breaking into the cake and warm chocolate oozing onto the plate. Well I am not sure if this was supposed to be that type of cake, but I had no such luck. They did not turn out ooey or gooey in the center. They were just a really moist, almost fudgy like. The only culprit I can think of is my tempermental oven which changes temperatures throughout baking.
For me they could have been a touch sweeter. I wish I had some vanilla ice cream to go with it but no luck, I only had green tea and sticky toffee pudding. I chose the green tea which turned out to be a really good flavor combo.
I had three left over so I ate one for breakfast yesterday (and today) still fudgy in the middle and still good.

Looking yummy!!
Green tea AND sticky toffee pudding? I'm coming over. ;)
Looks good!!
All I had was green tea ice cream, but it turned out to be a great combination.
Although gooey, they are definitely not lava cakes. But, they are delicious all the same. Great job!
Fudgy center sums it up for me, too. Weren't easy and fun to make?
I used semisweet chocolate, and it was perfect that way. Maybe give that a try next time?
the green tea sounds so good! love how it's melting in your photo.
