I’ve always struggled to make the perfect lava cake that oozes out in the middle. That’s why, in the past, I’ve gravitated to my deep-dish lava cake recipe.
However, I think it’s so fun to be served your own individual lava cake. So, I set off on a mission to bake the best molten lava cake.
My favorite chocolate cake is from a place called Hot Cakes in downtown Seattle. I always eat mine with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and it’s chef's kiss.
But Hot Cake’s is a little far from me, so I knew I had to perfect my own lava cake recipe. I recommend serving your lava cakes with either a dash of powdered sugar or a big scoop of ice cream.
RECIPE:
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup butter
8 oz chocolate
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
STEPS:
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F, and grease three ramekins with butter. Dust them lightly with cocoa powder as well.
In a bowl over a double boiler, melt the butter and chocolate. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Add the chocolate, butter, and flour. Fold to combine and divide evenly between the three ramekins. Bake for 7 minutes.
Allow the cakes to cool for one minute, then invert each onto a plate. Wait a few seconds before lifting the ramekin up to avoid any cracks.
Enjoy!
