About Me!

Hi, thanks for stopping by, my name is Anna Kosti and I am 18 years old. I live in Larnaca, Cyprus, with my family and I am still going to high school. I fell in love with baking since the age of 9! I started with simple recipes to making complicated and fascinating desserts. I am planning to join university next year, overseas, to become a professional pastry chef.

This is the absolute molten lava cake, it has a moist cakey exterior and a chocolate melted lava in the middle. I was always searching to find the perfect recipe and here it is. If you follow my instructions this will be the best lava cake you’ve ever tried, BUT don’t forget to serve it with some vanilla ice cream and whipped cream!!!

It’s by far one of my favourite chocolate recipes and especially when I am craving a chocolate snack, I just bake some of these and serve them with vanilla ice cream!

You can store these Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes either in the fridge ,or even in the freezer and bake or microwave them anytime you want. In the fridge they last about 3-4 days but believe me no one keeps waiting so long. They will be lost within couple of hours especially if you love chocolate!

You can also add a piece of chocolate bar in the middle before making to have even more soft and melted interior.

Make sure to give this delicious recipe and I have no doubt that if you follow my steps you will master it and anyone will love it!

It can also be made when you have formal dinner and you want to impress your guests. You just need to drizzle some chocolate syrup on top and serve it with some vanilla ice cream and whipped cream!!!

Description

This is the absolute molten lava cake, it has a moist cakey exterior and a chocolate melted lava in the middle.

Ingredients

1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
240gr dark chocolate melted
2 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
4 tbsp flour
whipped cream/ vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

In a mixing bowl add your whole eggs, egg yolks and sugar! Mix this with a whisk until nice and creamy.
Add your melted butter, melted chocolate, salt and flour. Mix everything until incorporated.
Scrape the sides of the bowl to avoid any flour bits from the bottom of the bowl.
Grease using non stick spray your foil cases or ramekins. Then place some cocoa powder in each case and move it sound to cover the edges. In this way your lava cakes will not stick!
Divide your batter evenly between your cases!
Bake at 175°C for 8-10 minutes until the edges looked baked but the centre a bit soft! Don’t bake them more than 10 minutes because you will loose the melted interior.
Leave them to cool for about 15 minutes before serving. Flip them and serve them with some whipped cream and ice cream.
