Baking is definitely not my forte

I'm an avid fan of Master Chef US especially this season...

 To make this story short, there is an episode that I watched when they made this Choco Molten Lava Cake, the outcome is so mouth watering, so I immediately google its recipe and to my surprise there's only 5 ingredients.

• 100g butter
• 20ml flour
• 2 egss
• 50ml sugar
• 100g chocolate

 Well, about the chocolate... It should be a chocolate bar but because it is too expensive, I use a chocolate powder instead. So instead of melting the chocolate, I just add water to the powdered one and made it look like this:

Then add the butter and gradually mix them both together. :D

On a separate bowl, crack the eggs and add the sugar then start whisking! But it is best to use an electronic one so it will be quick and easy. And it should look like this:

it should be frothy... or whatever they call it. :)

The next step is to add the chocolate and mix:

 

When everything is set and done, put the batter on a ramekin it is a small rounded shaped like a cup but its microwave safe but since we don't have those stuff, I used mugs (make sure they're microwave safe though, just to avoid damage)

Bake it for 10-15mins. under 180 degree Celsius :)

THE RESULT!!!

                                 When I was trying to flip the mug so that the cake will come right off it, it was a total mess. I don't know what happened but I guess I measured the ingredients wrong... or something. :))

                                 I made another one and this time I didn't remove them on the mug, I embedded vanilla ice cream because that's what I saw on some youtube tutorial and let my two cousins dig in.

                                They said it is too sweet and the butter is overpowering the chocolate taste... I made another one and this time, again, I didn't use the whole 100g of butter but I just use 3/4. Then since I'm not using dark-bitter-chocolate, instead of using 4 sachets of powdered choco I only used three. And I also reduce the sugar to 40ml. :)

                                I put the batter on a baking tray and baked it for 20mins., and Voila! MOIST CAKE! :D

I don't even think it is a moist cake... haha. I don't care, I guess I'm not that really good at baking. Then my tito and tita tasted it, I was expecting for their negative reactions (because they are very good at cooking or making everything taste so delicious!!!)... They loved it! The sweetness of the cake balanced the taste of the vanilla ice cream on top (I'm really thankful for the vanilla ice cream. haha)

Oh well, at least I did something productive that day. :D

But this fail experience will not stop me from learning. 

So I'm begging you to give me a complete set of baking materials this Christmas or introduce me to a baking teacher. ha ha, just kidding. :))
