Oozing chocolate cake

I am looking for a dessert to make for guests. Some good ones like banana pudding need chilling. Its 75F. So what I am looking for is a warm dessert. Oozing chocolate cake fits the needs. Lets see how it turns out.

Its soft. Tastes good when warm. But the time to bake needs to be doubled than what is in the recipe.

My friend walked into the kitchen to see if she could help with anything. I had the batter ready thinking that since the baking time is under 15 min, I could get the dessert during the main course. When she looked at the brown batter being ladled into the ramekins
'Imli(tamarind) hai kya?'

Later when I finally got the dessert done, she appreciated the warmth of the dessert even though chocolate is not her favourite. Now I see why she didnt guess the batter to be of chocolate.

I have seen desserts charm people especially when they get done when people are ready for it. Use this tip generously.

My friend got me Mango burfi, Sutar pheni. Her husband while explaining pheni said not to confuse it with Nira.

Banana pudding

I went over the roasted banana pudding recipe from yesterday and found it too consuming (shopping time, dishes, baking time), I finally decided on  caramelized banana pudding . And meringue making is merry. Flour is used in making the custard.  all purpose flour plays the corn starch  role of thickening the custard. I used  Parle G  instead of vanilla wafers.

Slices and Stallions

While there are books that are all about just one ingredient like Flavored oils and vinegars there are others that are about a gamut of things. Everything Pizza cookbook has recipes for all the kinds of pizza that there can be with different crusts, sauces, cheeses, toppings. Smoked Salmon Pizza, Polenta Pizza. Cooking for engineers Tasso Ham . When I read that Tasso is also the name of an Italian poet, I wanted to point to his work too. I looked for it but found it in prehistoric language. It so happens that I am reading poems about horses and recognised Tasso's name beneath his poem translated. Second paragraph has life infused in it with equine motions. Another poem that I like in this collection is 'New Foal' by Ted Hughes.
