This week for Sweet Melissa Sundays Sarah at Blue Ridge Baker picked Fallen Chocolate Soufflé Cake for us to try from The Sweet Melissa Baking Book. This is a special recipe because it is the cover recipe for the book, and I was excited to give it a try. Thanks for the pick, Sarah! You can find the recipe here at Sarah's site if you do not have the book. I'm so glad to be back baking with SMS, I've missed most of the recipes this summer but can't wait to catch up and am looking forward to the rest of the SMS September recipes, we have some great picks coming up!
After baking shot...these baked up and fell just like they were meant to.
But after unmolding from the pan I had quite a surprise...
Aren't those crazy? I've never had anything turn out like that before! They did not stick, but were very oddly shaped. It was almost as if they were tied around the middle of the muffin while baking. So instead of a fancy schmancy Fallen Chocolate Soufflé Minis, I had funny looking UFO shaped chocolate treats. The kids absolutely loved them, yay! I'm glad I wasn't making them for a dinner party or something or I'd have been a little embarrassed -- because of the shape only though, the flavor and texture were right on to me, and me not being a big egg or soufflé person thought these were pretty good.
Thanks to Sarah for a wonderful Sweet Melissa Sundays pick :)

souffle pans are higher than they are wide so that there is extra support when it falls :) with a pan that is wider than it is high, you will get the UFOs :) Still looks yum though! :)
Ahh, that makes sense! Thanks for explaining :) Guess I'd better invest in some actual mini soufflé dishes!
I learn something new every week in this group! I made the full size and it was pinched around the middle too, but because it was so big, you didn't get the UFO effect.
It's Melissa from Lulu the Baker, by the way. I sometimes don't pay attention to which account is signed in on our computer!
i made the minis too... mine also came together from the middle down. sounds like it is supposed to do that! :)
The UFO ones look cute though. Perhaps it got your kids to eat it more? It's very nice and lovely.

Oh i love how totally odd looking they came out, haha! They're adorable!!!
Thanks for baking with me this week! Your minis are adorable, and I'm glad your kids enjoyed them.

I would be happy to eat them, UFOs or not--they look delicious
