How To Tell When Chocolate Lava Cakes Are Done Baking #baking
zhlédnutí 8MPřed 4 měsíci
This is one method to achieve a lava center in a chocolate cake. Another method uses a frozen core of ganache baked into the cake.
As long as my chocolate taste good i don't care if its tempered😅😂
Fun fact is I can eat all of this without any hesitation 💀
I’ll have to commend you on your baking knowledge cause how do you know this much😅
The science of baking. ❤
Very useful 👌
I want to eat em all
Wow! I had no idea it was that easy to make paint brittle. Ima be makin that next weekend! Thanks 😊
So you don’t completely destroy your teeth you can stretch the brittle while it’s still pliable. This thins it out so it’s a little easier to bite through.
You forgot the best method ✨box mix✨
Now I want it.... But I never skilled to make merengue
Hundreds of thousands of men and women in the United States prison system, and not one conviction for baking cakey brownies. Something is wrong with this world.
Best bread ever🎉
Yooo😮 I did not know that. I want to make brownies now 😅
Anyone else hear him say "meraining" ingredients instead of "remaining" ingredients?
Mmmmm they all look so good.
Yummyyy
I love cakey brownies, I’m not a fudgy brownie person AT ALL😭😭
This is great... IT MADE ME WANT BROWNIE'S
Are the peanuts cooked beforehand or not? Also how much gelatin?
I like my oatmeal cookies exactly like the second one. Soft and chewy 😋 ❤
Fudgy brownies on top
Do you think it can work if i add peanuts to the sponge candy?
that’s still too undercooked. i thought lava cakes were filled with actual chocolate not just uncooked chocolate batter
Im not even a baker but thank you for this tip lmao😂
Very Brittle indeed
i didn't even know sponge candy was a thing! thanks for the info
Who knew there was a science to mixing method

I always wondered why recipes were so insistent on the order in which to add ingredients
Tasty
I like brownies. That’s it just give me a brownie and I’ll be happy-
That’s not a candy bar, that’s a candy brick!
I saw this and moaned at each one
Doesn't matters, all of them must be tasting gooood
𝑰 ❤️ 𝒖 𝒃𝒆𝒏𝒋𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒏 𝒉𝒆𝒉𝒆
And you've still managed to overbake all 3
Would this be even sweet?
I don't care I just want to eat all 3.
The caramel brownies look so good 😋
i tried all three methods but they are all black and taste like ashes
I was now years old when i learned every soufle i have had is over baked😭
Well if you powder the sugar yourself yhen thete won't be any starch, would that effect it differently?
They are all great
how do i avoid that weirdbaking soda taste???
