Hey there! Today
we’re going to make Lava Cake also known as Molten Chocolate Cake or Chocolate Fondant, whatever the name you choose, the deliciousness is as great. Basically, it’s a slightly under-cooked chocolate cake; the outside is dense while the inside has a gooey consistency and when you break it open the chocolatey lava melts out, hence the name.
So let’s get cooking!
So let’s get cooking!
You’ll need:
(for 6 persons)- 200g dark chocolate
- 100g butter (at room temperature)
- 100g sugar
- 100g flour
- 25g cocoa powder
- 3 eggs
- some extra butter and sugar for the ramequins
Let’s
start:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C and prepare your ramequins (or aluminium muffin tins) by greasing them with butter and dusting them with sugar.
- Melt the chocolate using the microwave or over a bain-marie and let it aside.
- Using a whisk mix the butter and sugar until well combined. Then, add the eggs one at a time mixing well in between each.
- Sift in the flour and cocoa powder and mix well. Then, add the melted chocolate and stir again until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the ramequins and bake them for 12 minutes, until the edges are firm and the centre is still soft.
- Finally, let the cakes cool for few seconds then run a knife around the edges
of the cakes to loosen them and invert onto your serving plates.
They’re best served hot with a scoop of your favourite ice cream. You can get creative with decoration or just keep it simple.
Thank you for stopping by and I really hope you'll give this recipe a try!
