CHOCOLATE MOLTEN

LAVA CAKE

Chocolate Molten Lava Cake – Another easy and quick preparation of a cake. It takes only about 15 min preparation. This is literally my first time making this, and I thought I need to do a trial and error on the timing for a good flow of lava. But it turned out superb with chocolaty flow of lava and the cake remain moist in the outside. It is heavenly. I hope you’re inspired to make this quick and easy dessert. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

I am using 3 ceramic ramekins. You can use anything such as aluminium foil or bowl of any sizes you desire.

100g dark compound chocolate

75g (1/3 cup) unsalted butter

1 tsp vanilla extract

¼ tsp salt

2 eggs

80g (1/4 cup + 2 tbsp) fine sugar

20g (2 tbsp) all-purpose flour

Small chunk of butter and 2 tsp of flour for greasing and dusting the ramekins

Some powdered sugar for dusting the cooked lava cake before serving.

Instructions:

Preheat oven at 200°C/400°F
Grease the ramekins with butter and dust with some flour.
Chop the chocolate bar into small chunks for easy melting, and place them in a heat proof bowl. Add butter. Melt them over a hot boiling water or low heat. Add vanilla and salt into the chocolate mix. Mix until incorporated. Set aside and let cool.
In a large bowl, add 2 eggs and sugar. Mix vigorously until creamy, fluffy and pale. Then add in the chocolate mixture. Mix until well combined.
Sift in the flour. Mix until well combined.
Scoop into 3 prepared ramekins. I am using 3 ceramic ramekins. You can use any other ramekin material such as aluminium foil or bowl.
Divide the batter evenly into the ramekins.
Bake in preheated oven at 200°C/400°F for 8-12 min. Why I said 8-12 min? That is depending on the ramekins you’re using. For ceramic like mine, I baked for 12 min. For aluminium foil or bowl, you may only need about 8-10min or until the surface is cooked.
You may serve on a plate immediately after baking.
Dust with some powdered sugar. Top with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream, or anything you like.
Cake is ready to serve.
