You know, it isn't a proper flouncing exit if you don't have cake. Seriously. CAKE.
And on a side note... Mr. OP... you didn't seem terribly interested in anyone your OWN age, just those younger, as in this part of your profile: If you are young do not be afraid of someone who is older, they are usually more stable and well rounded people. What's wrong with people your own age? Oh wait, it's your preference, you want younger but then you bitch about young people not wanting older. Um, yeah, okay, good luck with that.
I think Chocolate Lava Cake is an appropriate flouncing-exit cake.
Crockpot Chocolate Lava Cake
Batter:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
6 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup chocolate chips
2/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons powdered unsweetened cocoa
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk
1 egg yolk
Topping:
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup powdered unsweetened cocoa
1 1/2 cups hot water
whipped cream or ice cream for topping
Step 1: Coat the inside of a 2 1/2- to 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. (Note: the cake's cooking time and final appearance will vary depending on your crock's size.)
Step 2: Whisk together the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, melt the butter and chocolate in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water and mix well.
Step 3: Whisk in the 2/3 cup of sugar, 3 tablespoons of cocoa, vanilla extract, salt, milk, and egg yolk. Add the flour mixture and stir until thoroughly mixed.
Step 4: Pour the batter into the slow cooker and spread it evenly. In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining sugars, cocoa, and hot water until the sugar is dissolved.
Step 5: Pour the mixture over the batter in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 1 to 2 hours, depending on the size of the crock pot.
Step 6: Even when done, the cake will be very moist and floating on a layer of molten chocolate, but you'll know it's ready when nearly all of the cake is set and the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pot. (As you check, try not to let the condensed steam from the lid drip onto the cake.)
Step 7: When it's done, turn off the power and remove the lid. Let it cool for 25 minutes, then serve it in bowls topped with whipped cream or ice cream. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
