The Gü Cake Experiment

Everyone loves Gü Cakes. Alas, being lactose intolerant, it's been a fair while since I have had had the hot chocolatey joy that is a Gü Cake. (World's smallest violin, I know.)

However, whilst making brownies the other day, I had an idea.

About a quarter of the brownie batter didn't fit in my baking tray and I had originally planned to make two batches. Then my housemate Dan (whilst steeling a sneaky fingertip full of batter from the bowl) commented that the batter tasted like Gü Cake insides.

I decided to put my left over batter to better use and poured it into four ramekins (left over from actual Gü Cakes - clearly this was meant to be). My four cakes actually sat in the fridge for two days (unbaked) as we were too full after dinner for them until last night, but no harm seems to have been done.

After 15 minutes in the oven, they were güey-galore with a thin layer of sponge all the way around. - Perfect even if I do say so myself!
