Hey, welcome to the channel.
We are Sorted, a group of friends
in London looking for those amazing things in food that
make you go wow, between stitching each other up
and innuendos.
Now be warned, we have two chefs,
but we give them limited air time.
And we make sure all of our ideas
start with a suggestion from you.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm gooey in the middle, baby, let me bake.
Hello, I'm Jamie and somewhere-- that's Barry.
You know what, today, basically everything goes wrong.
This is one of, one of the best / worst videos
we've ever made.
So please, get it out there, give it
a like, tell everyone you know.
Today's ultimate battle is molten lava cake.
They will go head to head to head
to come up with something that is spongy with something liquid
inside.
The rest is up to them.
Go!
Oh, that's how we're doing this.
OK, fine.
Are these [INAUDIBLE]?
Look at the stain in that bowl, disgusting.
Baz, did you say you needed a bowl?
I need a little bowl.
There you go, mate.
Thank you.
I'm going to make a cheats ice cream, which
means whipping this cream to soft peaks, which is one,
knackering, then two, the positive
is that I'm making cheats ice cream, which is basically
cream and condensed milk.
How soft peaks?
Keep it in your original bowl and then stir
through some condensed milk.
So be careful not to knock all the air out of it.
Add some mushed raspberries.
And then, believe it or not, we're going to ripple it.
This 30 minute fondant recipe now becomes a six hour fondant
recipe.
Because this has got to go in the freezer to freezer.
So far I'm--
You're dusting.
--I'm greasing my ramekins and coating them
in a little bit of cocoa powder.
And I think you're going to do the same, aren't you, Jamie?
I'm going to do a mixture of Graham cracker and cocoa
powder around the rim.
Part of the cake has not cooked, has to ooze out.
And that's, for me, always a chocolatey inside.
But it could be other things, couldn't it?
Yeah, you could add other things to it.
If you had an imagination, you could
put like something that wasn't chocolate inside, couldn't you?
You could add marshmallows.
Yeah.
You know what?
That will fit perfectly.
Look.
Yeah, oh no.
They're mine.
They just got chocolate on it.
I know you're going to have to eat that now.
Think lemon drizzle lava cake.
I like both of those things.
So inside is a lemon curd, but it's
flavored with the exotic citruses of kaffir lime
and lemongrass as well as normal lemons.
So I'm hoping that that will bring a different flavor
dimension to your palate and that your palate will
be satisfied.
With raspberry ice cream, my palate is excited for this.
Let's just face it.
Let's be honest with one another.
I know it.
You know it.
You've clicked on this video because it's
my recipe in the thumbnail.
I think that's very forward-thinking because you
choose to focus on the thumbnail and you haven't baked this yet.
If it's not got a molten center.
I know, I know this is going to be the best looking
and the best tasting.
Because it's not only got chocolate,
but it's also got peanut butter and salty caramel
in the middle.
And Oreos.
So you just ticked all the cliche YouTube boxes.
And sometimes that works.
That's why you clicked.
And that's why I'm going to win.
Right now I'm just melting chocolate and the butter
in the microwave in a bit at a time so it doesn't burn.
What if you combine s'mores with--
Ebbers hates s'mores.
--a lava cake.
So you put a marshmallow mixture in the middle.
He slags them off all the time.
And then the outside, you have chocolate cake.
And then on the outside of that, you
have graham crackers crushed up.
What if?
That is the question.
And I look forward to it.
Yeah, all served with a salted caramel and cinnamon ice cream.
Pow. [WHOOP]
Ebbers, you're not a fan of the s'more, are you?
I feel like we're a bit s'mored out,
but one thing I would say is after 1,200 recipes,
you've got to work at how to put other things inside of other
things.
And I've never yet seen a s'more combined with a molten lava
cake.
But have you seen lemon drizzle in a cake before?
Not in a molten lava cake, no.
But you have seen it in a cake before.
Not as many times as I've seen s'mores on this channel, no.
Oh.
For reference-- oh.
Let's make this more interesting.
I've got egg in my collar.
Oh, it's down my shirt.
He's laid it.
I washed-- I just washed that off.
No, you didn't.
I did!
What?
The whisk?
Yeah, you piece of doggy poo.
No, that's mine.
That's mine.
No, I'm using it.
There's only one, let me use it.
How many grams of sugar is that?
This is mine.
You were biting me like a schoolchild.
[INAUDIBLE]
You just sucked.
I did a solid bite to you.
And I started dribbling, so I thought I'd just--
You just sucked my thumb.
And I'm really concerned it's ascended.
I'm going to kill--
I'm going to murder you.
Why?
Have you got a lemon on your ball bag?
You've got one of my lemons on your ball bag?
No.
On one side, I've got my eggy, sugary, salty mix,
the other buttery chocolate.
We're going to bring them together, whisk them, and then
fold in my flour to create my perfect, chocolatey batter.
This is why it has to be chocolate.
Look at it.
[GARGLING]
[LAUGHTER]
We actually just gone there.
That's where we've gone, right?
[COUGHING]
Yeah, yeah, don't worry.
It's not there yet.
It's just, I had to get it into--
[INAUDIBLE] you were about to spoon it into your ramekin.
No, it's fine.
Stop interfering!
So for my lemon curd, I've got eggs, I've got sugar,
I've got juice and zest of some lemons.
I need to retrieve the other lemons from the guys' pants.
I will kaffir lime, lemongrass.
And I'm going to thicken that on a low heat in a saucepan.
In that saucepan is also going some honey.
I have mixed some dulce de leche and some peanut butter
together, salted it.
And I'm only going to put a couple of teaspoons
in the middle.
I'm also going to put it back in the fridge
so it sets a little bit more and doesn't start to cook too much.
Because you want to stay runny later on.
So again, two teaspoons to the middle
then top it up with chocolate.
And hopefully you should have a chocolate and peanut butter
effect in the middle.
Like a marbly, swirly, molten bit.
Yeah.
What did you do?
What on earth is going on?
Just giving it back.
I wanted to play fair, so.
Oh no.
So I processed my eggs the wrong way.
I've got a lemon from earlier.
So I don't need it anymore.
That is perfect because I can't use those anyway.
We've started again.
We've now got two egg yolks.
And now I can put the full eggs in.
What's the problem?
I've washed up those whisks.
[LAUGHTER]
They were just clean whisks there.
I didn't know they were yours.
I know I washed those up so I could use them in my cream.
This lemon curd is good to go.
You know how I know?
This.
So now I'm going to stir in some butter
and then strain it through a sieve
and put it in the fridge to cool up.
Oh.
Have you not whisked it?
No.
What have you done then?
I just stuck it straight in.
All right.
Well, I have made a major error.
He's not whisked his cake mix at all.
I wondered why everyone was doing that.
Bowl--
What's wrong with you?
What's the matter?
No, I had a bowl, just had a bowl.
I turned around for a second.
Oh, I was just using what was in the kitchen, which
I thought was the brief.
I thought that's what we do.
The whipped cream.
I've added my melted butter and chocolate
into the egg mix, folded that in with some flour, combined
it all, and now it's ready to go into the ramekins.
Sugar, butter beaten until pale and fluffy.
So now into that goes eggs and milk.
In case it couldn't get any more citrusy,
I'm zesting some limes into my sponge.
Then I chuck in some flour, stir it all together,
fill my ramekins halfway.
I'm going to pipe my lemon curd into the middle
and then put the rest of the batter on top.
So this is not the time to have a casual lean as I'm cooking.
Who knows what's going to happen now?
Marshmallow mix into the middle of my fondant.
My fondant is in the oven.
So I'm going to have a little go at some presentation, which
has always been my strongpoint.
Something, something, something, quenelle some ice cream
or something.
So the thing with molten lava cake,
you've only got a very small window
to get it absolutely right.
And we've challenged the boys to go one for photo,
one for some sexy shots, and one for me to cut into.
Or I can just [INAUDIBLE] if there's no time.
No.
Later.
This is your test one for photo, isn't it?
And yours isn't going to be the photo, so.
You don't know that.
People are watching this for my fondant.
They want to see this in [INAUDIBLE]..
Oh my goodness, he's so cock sure of himself.
And it just so happens that I have some limes knocking about
that I used for zesting.
So I'm going to squeeze the juice out of those
and combine that with some icing sugar, mix it until it's lovely
and smooth.
And that's going to be my drizzle.
Do you know what?
I don't mind mine not being the thumbnail.
Mines more about taste, I think.
[INAUDIBLE] left.
Just remember, you don't have enough mixture.
Just remember that.
Yeah.
[LAUGHTER]
You just spoiled Jamie's chef-y flair?
Stop it.
We all know how this works.
You do something and then I do something worse.
And then you do something worse.
And then Ben's veins pop out of his head.
And then we both gang up on Barry?
Yeah.
Just do that and see what happens.
Will you stop it?
All right, I've got to save this.
[INAUDIBLE] cake right.
That's going to go in there.
This is OK.
[GASP]
So it turns out, I was too organized.
And because I made all three of my lava cakes at the same time,
whilst the other two were sitting there
and this one was cooking, the marshmallow
was slowly falling further and further
towards the bottom, which is actually
the top when you turn it out.
And therefore, it doesn't come out the ramekin
because it gets stuck.
What does lava do from a volcano?
It erupts.
This is the eruption of the s'mores--
can we just take a picture of it?
Barry?
Yeah, mate?
Can we take a picture of mine?
I'm really busy, mate.
Fine, I'm going to take a picture.
And it's going to be the thumbnail.
And then you're going to cry to your mommy.
[CAMERA CLICK]
I might have nailed it, James.
They're completely blurry.
The shutter speed is like really slow.
Why is the shutter speed so low?
I changed the settings.
[BLEEP] right.
[LAUGHTER]
Its construction time.
[LAUGHTER]
What happened?
What went wrong?
I don't know.
Your ice cream looks a bit sad.
It all looks sad, James.
You all right?
[INAUDIBLE], you all right?
I'm taking that to the table because I've
got no other choice now.
I turned mine out and it wasn't cooked
even though it was the same amount of time
as the other ones that I've made just now.
So I'm piping it full of my curd.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[BUZZER]
I'm going to start from this end because this one might
have an ooze.
And then we'll get--
That's definitely got an ooze.
Then we'll discuss that one.
There we go.
Oh, it's the best one yet.
Come out.
That has got a nice ooze, a nice dribble.
That's got an ooze.
It's not as easy as that, though, is it?
I'm so sorry, mate.
It's fine.
It's really funny.
It's fine.
Shiny, glossy, slightly different texture
with the peanut and the chocolate.
Hot and cooked all the way through.
Normally, if a chocolate fondant or a molten lava cake
sticks to the rough of your mouth,
it's probably because it's a little bit undercooked.
Yeah.
That's not the case here.
That's the peanut butter.
This is because of the peanut butter.
That is actually delicious.
That is-- That is quite annoying.
--divine.
It might be the thumbnail.
Well, I told you.
[INAUDIBLE] thumbnail right now.
[INAUDIBLE] Don't inflate his ego.
It's massive already.
However, I like the fact that you've
gone for something different.
You haven't gone for chocolate.
Slop on a plate.
Your third one isn't as good as your first
two, which is quite annoying.
Really annoying, isn't it?
I am not confident about this at all, mate?
Well, you've done a second injection.
I have.
Ignore-- maybe just shut your eyes from now on
and focus on the flavor.
And get a bit of ice cream.
And get a bit of crunch.
So I have to, unfortunately, judge on what's been plated.
Because your first two also, also look the part.
But what this does is taste delicious.
And since it's fresh, the curd has got a tang.
But it's still that kind of gooey, just about liquid center
you expect from one curd.
And the ice cream is great.
[LAUGHTER]
Now, I think you might have a new thing here,
Jay, puddle cake.
I'm going to do the honors and taste it, but my--
I'm guessing, from looking at it,
it's probably a little under.
You know when you muck around and you've done something wrong
and you try and get away with it,
you can't get away with fondant like that.
But to have three different cakes
and them all come out different-- differently.
Yeah.
And the first one was actually the best.
Also, you did miss the plate.
I didn't miss the plate.
So this one flew out of the pot, whereas the other two
stuck a little bit and I had to get the knife around there.
This one, I turned it over, and it went "aflegh,"
and then it went "maah."
Conceptually, your cinnamon mascarpone ice cream
is the best compliment of all three.
The idea is good.
It just-- it just didn't work.
What happened?
This has changed color.
I thought in your first--
I thought this was brown.
Communication error.
Oh.
The thing with molten lava cake is
it is all down to how it looks and that molten ooze.
So you guys can probably judge third, second, and first place
as well as I can.
But all of them tasted great.
You know when you buy them from the supermarket
and you put them in the microwave for 50 seconds,
they come out perfect every time?
Yeah.
Do that.
The question is, would you agree with my decision?

Are you ready for a relevant dad joke of the week?
Can I go now?
No, no, no, stay for this one.
This is a good one.
You ready?
OK, yeah.
I-- I burnt 2,000 calories yesterday.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, forgot to take my cake out of the oven.
[LAUGHTER]
That was good.
Better, better.
Yeah, I told you.
