Hello All,
Sweet Punch October challenge was Molten Lava Cake chosen by Divya.She chose this recipe from Hetal and Anuja's Showmethecurry.com.Hope all of you enjoyed baking with us this month!!
Bharathy happened to read somewhere that MLC was accidentally created when someone baked a cake with an uncooked center!!She baked each ramekins individually and got different variations of Molten centers!!
Tushara,a non blogger was enthusiastic enough to try these even though she did not have ramekins.She baked it in little tea cups and it reminded her of the Lava cakes at Mocha!!

Divya[that's me-DUH],baked it with lots of hopes since I am such a big fan of Dominos Lava Cake.The recipe doesn't disappoint at all--Perfect Lava cakes one after the other.I wanted the center to be oozing so baked accordingly.Only downfall is waiting for the cake to cool down,I almost burnt my lips and tongue,but the Lava cakes sure made up for it!!
Nags gives me company here,lol.One more person who burnt her tongue whilst tasting this.So folks,learn from our mistakes--I know it is tough,but wait for the cake to cool down before tasting it!!
Gayathri shook herself out from her laziness and sent in these pictures.She added a little twist to the MLC by mixing in marshmallows into the batter.Wow!!

Faiza's last post was about 3 months back and that was a Sweet punch challenge hosted by me too..what a co-incidence Faiza..glad you resumed blogging!!
Pavitra loved this challenge being a chocoholic herself..her pictures do full justice to the recipe!!
Aliena was very happy with this month's challenge as she could treat her bro-in-law with this yummy indulgence!!
Priya beat all of us by baking it four times in a row..yeah,that's how much her family loved this one!!And let us add one more to the burnt tongue list..lol!!
Priya loved it so much that she wanted to have it all for herself.Can't blame you Priya,being a chocoholic myself,I know exactly how that feels having gobbled down 3 of them myself..oops!!!
Ayeesha feels this is the best chocolate dessert to have.I agree,paired with Vanilla ice-cream,it is a combo nothing can beat!!
Nimi found this challenge perfect as she had her parents and brother visiting.Not having a ramekin did not stop her from trying this out,she baked in little glass bowls!!
Swapna halved the recipe and got 3 ramekins of Lava cake..was it enough Swapna??Lol!!
Veena was very happy with the challenge as her daughter being a chocoholic was jumping in joy at the mention of MLC.She used Ganache to get a gooey center!!
Bhagyashri found it very difficult to resume blogging after a break.I know how that feels..but what better recipe to jump back into action than MLC..since you didn't get gooey centers,how about trying it out once again..??
Jayashree was apprehensive to use metal tins in her Microwave.I can so relate to you..I had the same worry when I first put in a metal cake tin..but be sure to use it only in Convection mode!!
Anu aka Miriganayani feels this is the best MLC recipe so far..she paired it with Vanilla bean ice-cream and I am sure it would have been dee-licious!!
Vidya made this prior to a dinner party and refrigerated it.Thanks Vidya,we've been getting queries asking if the batter could be refrigerated for later use.I guess since there isn't any baking powder or soda,it might work perfectly well.
Divya feels tis is the best Cake ever and it cannot get any better than this..who are we to argue,right??
Ria baked this cake to celebrate 2 birthdays,her brothers' and her blogs'.Perfect treat to celebrate!!
Ann,the self proclaimed caboose who supposedly is the last one to enter the round-up train..lol!!Last,but definitely not the least!!!
So many entries,I think it is time I baked my second batch of MLC now.Thank you so much all of you for baking with us!!
Love,
Divya.
P.S - I hope I have not left out any entries.If so,please mail us your post url and pictures to
