So tonight I was very much in my "domestic Goddess" role and loving every minute of it. I have yet to bake a cake completely from scratch and for the sake of saving time tonight I decided to go the easy route which you probably recognize better as Duncan Hines, lol. So after following the packages directions I decided to spice it up a notch and added Godiva chocolate candies to the batter. I then baked the cakes in a cute square cupcake pan I found at Walmart. I digress..as usual, lol. Anywho, after taking them from the oven this is what they looked like.
So the tops sunk in, but you know what they say...when life gives you lemons you turn them into a meringue pie! (womp, womp!) Okay, that was even corny for my taste.
Back to my "discovery."
I wanted to make a sinfully decadent dessert so I melted more Godiva chocolate and drizzled it into the cracks. Now it was evolving into a lava cake of sorts.
Next I frosted it with a home made icing that I added even more melted Godiva to. Here's the recipe for a delicious glaze.
2 cups Confectioner's sugar
1 tbsp milk
1/2 stick butter
For a final touch I added a scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt which tastes strikingly similar to vanilla ice cream but is much healthier for you. C'mon...I had to eat something to not make me feel so guilty about all the calories I was about to ingest, lol. Next I sprinkled a few chocolates for decoration and had a party in my mouth and this was definitely worth the 45 minutes it took in all to prepare it. Try it yourself!
