Molten Lava Chocolate Chunk Streusel Coffee Cake - FOOD PHOTO SHOOT

in #photography7 years ago

I don’t think it’s possible to have too much chocolate in life, but if it was then this cake would have to be made illegal.

I have to say, even for me (a person who lives to create decadence in the kitchen), this is pretty over the top.

We’re talking chocolate overload here. Like, make sure you’ve decided who inherits your bunny slipper collection before you try this thing.

It’s got a little bit of everything…except coffee. Now that I’m saying that I’m thinking I totally missed out on adding some jo. That would have been awesome to add coffee to the coffee cake. Next time, baby! Why is that, though. Why do coffee cakes almost never contain coffee? It’s like a big conspiracy to draw you in with the word and then let you down with the fact that it is only meant to go with your coffee, coffee not included.

Hey, don’t get me wrong. I won’t be swearing off a nice traditional piece of crumbly coffee cake anytime in this lifetime. Now putting a spin on it is a whole other story.

I was going to make and post my favorite recipe for your basic coffee cake, and I still will at some point, but then I remembered how I ended last week with very little chocolate and the promise to make that up this week. Plus, I may or may not have a serious addiction to the substance and I was on the fence between molten lava cakes and coffee cake. Which, by the way, are another thing that doesn’t see much variation. Why do molten lava cakes have to be made in individual portions? Hasn’t anyone ever heard of family size? Clearly something needed to be done about that.

Enter, Molten Lava Chocolate Chunk Streusel Coffee Cake. Possibly my greatest creation. As I was starting to say a minute ago before the coffee tangent distracted me, this cake has everything. The soft and fluffy cake on the outside, the molten chocolate fudge in the center, the streusel that gets crumbly on top and is reminiscent of cookie dough in the middle, and then of course a generous amount of chocolate chunks and a drizzle of chocolate icing. Did you just die, or what? This is the cake of every chocolate lover’s dreams.

As to this being a coffee cake, well the streusel and the fact that I adapted it from my coffee cake are what make it a so called coffee cake, though I did not put coffee in it. However, I can’t imagine anything more delicious than drinking a big steaming cup of coffee with a piece of this.

Don’t try this at home folks…I mean...do, but you didn’t hear it from me. Danger Will Robinson!

i don't wanna say i am hungry but right now i am starving after seeing this oohh laa laaa :D

Thanks so much @blazing, have a great Sunday

GIRL.... we need to talk about this. This should be illegal, or at least included in 5 of the deadly sins. Pure choco-debauchary... DAMN! Killer shots too!

I totally understand what you mean. It may be illegal in Minnesota, I'm not sure - LOL. I just picked that state out of the air in an attempt to be funny, not sure if it worked.

Thanks so much for the compliment on my photos @dayleeo

LOL I get what you mean, but I happen to know for a FACT that they deep fry cheese curds in Minnesota, so they'd probably be cool with it lol ;)

This looks very delicious quite amazing

Hey @world-travel-pro. I will for sure check it out. If you've seen less of me at your blog, it isn't due to lack of interest, it's due to everyone is posting their asses off right now. There are some out there posting 10 times or more in 1 day. I've had to stop all my voting bots as a result. My voting power is simply drained. It sucks only having 10, 100% votes per day. I've heard rumor of being able to buy voting power in the future and that would be great for me to help my followers more. Actually, that is one of the ideas behind SMT's. So, I am doing the best I can right now.

you're welcome. I think you add a great spice here and more people should know of the freedom that exists outside of their borders, so keep steeming on my friend!
