Thought it would be a perfect day to try to make Lava Cakes. (Perfect for me -- poor helpers, though. They have to clean up after me. And it's raining.)
I used the recipe I found on Shine because it seemed like the most straightforward Lava Cake recipe I've encountered.
I started this morning by making the chocolate balls that will become the lava center --
Finished making the cake after lunch.
The recipe said it would take 13 minutes to cook. We set the timer to 10 minutes and I asked one of our helpers to check on it. I was surprised/worried when she called on the intercom a few minutes later to say that the timer had gone off but the cakes looked raw. I rushed down stairs and took a look.
They were, thankfully, fine.
Only problem was that the chocolate balls were too big so a bit of the "lava" is peeking out from the top.
They're cooling right now so I'll take more pictures later when we actually eat them.

Apparently, it's already "later" --
Johann and my sister couldn't wait any longer and ate two of the lava cakes. (Gave 1 to the helpers so they could have a taste.)
It's yummy -- I mixed dark and milk chocolate. I'm not sure if it's gooey enough, though. I wonder where I went wrong...
