Molten Mustafar Lava Cakes

By MO2YP | October 3, 2008

…now THAT’S a mouthful ;-)

Meesa Back!

Well, I tried out a new recipe this week.  It was a big hit at my house - even my Hubby, who is usually a chocolate-only-kind-of-guy really enjoyed this change-of-pace dessert.  So easy, even a Gungan could do it…:lol: (no, I’m not Jar-Jar bashing…I love Jar-Jar!)

Molten Mustafar Lava Cakes

Ingredients

One box of Red Velvet cake mix (I used Duncan Hines). 

Powedered sugar (for dusting-optional)

Vanilla ice cream

Strawberry sauce topping (I used the Good Value brand from Wal Mart)

Directions

* Preheat oven to 350F

1. Prepare cake mix according to package directions (you’ll need 3 eggs, veg. oil and water)

2. Grease and lightly flour six Pyrex custard cups, large size (You can make eight smaller cakes if you use the smaller custard cups - these turn out pretty big), and place them on a jelly-roll pan for baking

3. Pour the prepared batter in the custard cups, about 2/3 full

4. Place the jelly-roll pan with the filled custard cups in the oven, and bake for approx. 25 minutes.  You’ll want to check after about 15 minutes - the centers should be almost done, but a little gooey (some batter on toothpick)

5. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes

6. Use a butter knife to loosen the cakes from the edges of the custard cups, then invert onto individual serving plates.

7. Cut the center out of the cake - just enough to form the top of a “volcano.”

8. Dust with powdered (confectioner’s) sugar if desired…if you’re like Palpatine you can use Unnnnnliiiimited Poooooowder if you’d like :lol:

8. Top with scoop(s) of vanilla ice cream and finish with the strawberry sauce - to taste (I used a LOT!  Calories?  Naahh…!)

(We put the cooled cakes in the microwave to re-heat them just a tad before eating a second helping since they cool quickly.  The centers will finish baking, but it’s still just as yummy - if not better!)

ENJOY!!!

MTFBWY,

MO2YP

Recipes From a Galaxy Far, Far Away

By MO2YP | September 23, 2008

Hi, Everyone!

I am as tickled as a wild gundark to be part of the Star Wars Chicks community!  I will be serving as a recipe writer for our site.  I hope to post about once a week, and will be bringing you plenty of ideas to whet your appetite!  I might even throw a few craft ideas in the mix - if my mood warrants it - so you never know what you might find!

If you are a member of the Hyperspace blogging community on starwars.com, you might be familiar with me - I have been a regular blogger there for almost three years now, and go by the name of MomOf2YoungPadawan, hence my nickname MO2YP.  You can also call me Mamadala :-D

I’ll start out with a recipe that is a favorite at my house. It appears in The Star Wars Cookbook: Wookiee Cookies and Other Galactic Recipes by Robin Davis.  I’m sure many (if not most) of you have made these at some point, but they remain my #1 Star Wars recipe, as well as a treat highly requested by my two young boys.  The uncooked dough is absolutely amazing, but not necessarily recommended to eat because of the raw eggs (but we do it anyway!!) Got Blue Milk?!

Website migration

Hello everyone!

As you may have noticed - how could you not? - StarWarsChicks.com has just undergone a major renovation.  We have also moved to a new webhosting provider.

Things may be a little buggy on the site for a little while until we get things sorted out properly.  If you experience any technical difficulties, please let us know!  We may be aware of the issue, but there’s always a good chance that we don’t know about it yet, and won’t until someone tells us!

Let us know by posting a comment to this article or emailing us: jedicrysta [at] starwarschicks.com.

Star Wars, Chick Style

By jadedsabre | June 30, 2008

Reprint of an article written by MissJedi for The Eleventh Hour. The original was posted June 1999.

Star Wars, Chick Style

I was brought up being told that the “female” role in society was changing, growing. We were no longer expected to be anything, but allowed to be anything. However, this is not the case, and that fact has never presented itself more clearly than with the much anticipated, much media-covered release of The Phantom Menace.

It began back in February, when I read an article about upcoming The Phantom Menace merchandise. In it, JC Penney’s mentioned that they were going to build entire displays targeted toward little boys, displays showcasing their T-shirts and short sets and bathroom and bedroom sets. And all I could think of was “What about the girls?” Read the rest of this entry »
