On Labor Day weekend, Amy and I went to the Glover store and got more King Arthur lava cake mixes. The dates on the packages there are old but it doesn't matter one bit because the mixes always come out perfect. The first photo up above is what a lava cake is like when it is all finished, just before it is gobbled up. If your store does not have the mix, order it directly from King Arthur. It is more than worth it.
Amy began making them quietly, so I missed photographing the mixing part (it's so easy that even I enjoy making them). These are the little silicon pans that come in the mix (you can get a mix without pans, also). They are sprayed with Pam-like spray (but not Pam, which is artificial, the stuff we use is real). It looks like ordinary batter, doesn't it?
Right out of the oven, the cakes look like this.
They begin to crack a tiny bit as they cool(but you have to eat them warm, if not hot).
Of course, Zorro (and Possum, who can't be seen here) has to help.
The first hot lava cake is overturned on a plate.
Lava cake unmolded.
Lava erupts!Who can wait for whipped cream or
homemade raspberry sauce from this year's raspberries?

There is a cookbook by Nigella Lawson (I actually own all of her books and LOVE her show on the Style network, she is just so...the way I've always wished I was. Anyhow, her cookbook (one of the best!) called 'How To Eat' has a receipe called 'Gooey Chocolate Puddings' that are ARE these lava cakes from scratch. I love this cookbook, I cook from it all the time.
