Making a Lava Birthday Cake

Posted on April 14th, 2008 in food by Kelby

Cooking with my 5-year-old daughter is one of my joys in life (when she isn’t being a total kitchen spaz and pissing me off). She was a pretty amazing little helper when we recently decided for my husband’s birthday to take advantage of a Christmas present I received that’s been sitting in the pantry. We made him chocolate lava cake as birthday cake. The cute kit I had even came with the little ramekins. I’ve also been enjoying food photography later (suck at it or not), so I thought I’d post some pictures of steps of making a lava birthday cake.

Mixing up the cake batter:

Nice visual instructions for the kiddo:

The lava cake fresh out of the oven:

And with some cake bling (daughter learns about “presentation” by adding whipped cream, strawberries, shaved chocolate and powdered sugar), the Lava Birthday Cake is complete:

Delicious!
