All your recipes seem to come out really good on the first try and then I stick to it and make it over and over and it always comes out great. Thanks Emma

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Glad that you enjoy them! Thank you for the kind words!

[@balqis7559]

@@biggerbolderbaking Oh god I just realized I wrote Emma instead of Gemma 😳💔 I'm so sorry 😭

[@katelynngo3722]

Giant lava cake? I think I could still eat the whole thing 😂 Love this! ❤️

ps- hair and makeup are fab in this vid ;)

[@Hectanooga1]

Oh my... calories, calories, calories...

[@Sweetthang9]

Uhh....yeah!

[@amysol3960]

Proportions :)

[@시아-v3b]

This is Bigger Bolder Baking! We obvi cant lay off on the calories! Its what baking is! SUGAR💕 (LOL)

[@deliasmith6506]

No matter what cake you're baking, more often than not, it will have a lot of calories. Common sense really

[@Hectanooga1]

Not really, that is a lot of butter and eggs. More than usual for a cake.

[@daca8395]

Your recipe have never failed me, and now everyone in my family is making your lava cake. Thank you! Also a tip from me, you can melt butter first and then add chocolate, same result, no fear from burning chocolate.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Thank you Danilo, that is indeed a good tip :)

[@helloitsbianca]

I love watching your baking videos gemma 😍😍 you will always be the best and i wish i want to be like you because your baking videos are so very interesting and lovely 😍💖

[@pesiuber]

I always get diharheah when I eat lava cake or brownies. But it's just so good, I can't stop eating it.

[@lucymerceringabout2]

Maybe the eggs haven't cooked enough! Hehe worth everything

[@carolinew.8835]

I'm always looking forward to Thursdays just because of your videos. I LOVE this Giant lava cake, Gemma! :)

[@thatgirlontheinternet7014]

"Enough to share with your friends and family" Ha yeah right 'share'

[@biggerbolderbaking]

You will definitely not be able to eat all of this yourself, do not try this lol :)

[@chloesciberras5882]

You're definitely my favorite baker on KZbin, Gemma! You always reply to comments! I love how you explain things that I never understood until now... I'm soon going to be 14 and my love for baking has grown so much ❤️ Also, congrats on almost hitting 1 million subscribers!!!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Thanks for your lovely note, Chloe! And I know you must be quite the Bold Baker. :)

[@rebecaortega2471]

Cant wait to bake it!

[@lgb6323]

Serves 10-12 people? Nah, I'll be able to finish that on my own. I love chocolate! ❤️❤️❤️

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Oh no you wouldn't :) :)

[@cleon8650]

I love molten lava cake! This looks amazing! :)

[@franzitaduz]

Such an incredible piece of perfection deserves a polished platter or a doily. I know...... picky. But I still adore your magic Gemma!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Thank you for the suggestion. It's welcome and all good.

[@lucymerceringabout2]

Have you got new makeup on? You look really pretty (as always) but especially today💗

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I really appreciate it, Lucy! Must have been a good makeup day. :)

[@TheLindsayAnn]

OOOMMMGGG, stop!!! This is heaven on earth- you are a genius!!!!

[@Emmy_Jayyy]

Are lava cakes safe to eat? Is it just undercooked cake or is it all cooked?

[@markoneill3719]

Emily Paulson yeah it's all cooked just gooey

[@angiewong7637]

the "lava" is not cooked but its hot enough to kill all the bacteria

[@fairhalo]

this looks like a perfect dessert for a birthday!! My mouth was watering all the time! Keep up the good work:)

[@christianlinkert7447]

No dessert can be anything but amazing when it has 1lb of chocolate in it.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

actually it does not contain the full bar, I was just showing it off! Check out the recipe here (www.biggerbolderbaking.com) :)

[@tanjirokamado8580]

I remember making this with my mom 3-4 years ago I was like 9 and the cake was slightly overcooked but hey it was delicious

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Thank you for sharing.

[@happypizza6936]

I love lava cake!!!!! I always wondered how to make it so thanks for the recipe!!!!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Thanks so much, I’m delighted you liked it.

[@lucydriskill5967]

Oh my Gemma!! I made this for a huge party and wow it turned out so much better than I though it would. 100% perfect!! Such a show stopper. Thank you so much

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Thank you Lucy :)

[@lilywei7388]

Hi Gemma. This cake looks amazing. I have a question: Could I divide the batter into smaller amounts so I can make many smaller cakes in ramekins? Thanks in advance.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Yes! this is perfect for this. They will bake really quickly, in about 10 - 15 mins. When they are baked, they will feel a little firm to the touch, and pull away slightly from the ramekin. So, butter the dishes really well, right up to the top, then fill to 3/4 full. Refrigerate first to set them up. this will give them the best chance of success, this is a tricky thing, even for chefs :)

[@lilywei7388]

Gemma Stafford Ok thank you. I'll definitely try out this recipe!

[@lpcookie1]

My mouth is watering! Love lava cakes? I wonder if u can incorporate Bailey's Irish Cream in the chocolate for a flavor option?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Hi lisa, Bailey's is not a strong flavor, and it wil lnot hold up so well in the heat. You could add a little whiskey, this is the foundation of Baileys afterall! :)

[@6Ahmadinho9]

OMG this is heart-breaking :( but can someone tell me what deos the word decadent mean? google says bad or declining, but i don't see the connection to a cake ?

[@nadonas]

Decadent means rich and luxurious :)

[@lucymerceringabout2]

It means like indulgent/ luxurious so basically like super yummy, it has two meanings! 😊x

[@hayleyng8130]

I would kinda describe it as rich, impressive kinda along those lines ha ha

[@6Ahmadinho9]

Thanks all :)

[@Sweetthang9]

Its only "bad" because its a word that describes something that's SO delicious, having it too much would be bad for your health.

[@shadymccoy7]

Awesome! I've never seen a lava cake that big! Yum!

[@izzyrubinson]

Looks so good

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Thank you :)

[@izzyrubinson]

+Gemma Stafford I will be making this soon

[@istarzgirl]

Gemma! Would you be able to do a smaller servings recipe, like you did for cupcakes, for other recipes?

[@angelvamful]

I was looking for someone that do cooking and baking demo without getting off topic and I found you and subscribed. Thanks for all the tips. 💖

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Delighted you found me, Ramona! Welcome to the Bold Baking Community! I have 200+ videos on my channel and 300 recipes on my website so I hope you find more favorites.

[@sindhu14227]

hi gemma it would be nice if u can even mention the exact measurements of the ingredients u use in everything... It's really confusing without knowing the measurements..

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I know, but KZbin is not the best place for this. All of my recipes are here (www.biggerbolderbaking.com), additional information too! :)

[@sindhu14227]

Gemma Stafford - thank u.. I did check tat after u told me... sorry I didn't notice it before... but there r few ppl who would like to look at the video n bake probably someone who doesn't know to read English... it would be really helpful for them if u can mention the quantity on ur videos too... It's just my thought... no other offence... waiting to try this cake .. thanks gemma

[@meringu3]

That looks amazing Gemma! Thanks!

[@falaqnaazmotala6167]

hey i really really loveee ur vids and receps ...i wanted to ask ...does the dessert have to b served immediately plz plz plz reply thank u

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Good question! it needs to be served reasonably quickly as it will continue to firm up as it cools, and as the heat transmits through the cake. (www.biggerbolderbaking.com/giant-chocolate-lava-cake/) find the recipe here :)

[@jasminariz]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@suraya7914]

Gemma can you make areo lava cake?

[@evalevin5240]

Can we make this in a smaller version? It looks amazing, but super decadent😇😂😂

[@omchhibber5898]

On KZbin please

[@elliemccarthy5672]

Aren't the eggs still uncooked in the middle? Couldn't that have salmonella or something?

[@90Nicke]

if it reaches a certain temperature, I forgot exactly what it is, it should be fine :)

[@biggerbolderbaking]

170 degrees, this is cooked, lightly. If your eggs are not reliable then you may wish to avoid this, but it is cooked :)

[@kimjulyofficial]

Wow!! What a treat!! Another must try! Added this to my favourites! 😍👌🏼

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Oh, that's great Kim! I hope you give it a go.

[@oficheallaigh9560]

Would us be to make an individual version and how would you do it

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Give this recipe a go www.biggerbolderbaking.com/chocolate-lava-cake/ You can easily scale the recipe down as long as you scale down all ingredients proportionally

[@animemix8112]

hahahahah I watch this again and again because I want to do it for.my family..I'm betting they'll be amazed hahahaha..thank u miss Gemma

[@noumangul5931]

i nevr can make s cake perfectly :(

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Practice! recipes are all here (www.biggerbolderbaking.com) :)

[@sunitarao126]

Would you please please temme if I replace eggs with buttermilk, as said on ya website.. What would be the temperature and time.. Hope you reply soon... I love your recipes... Wanna make for a. Party so please reply soon..

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Sunita, this recipe will not be great with a substitute. (www.biggerbolderbaking.com/giant-chocolate-lava-cake/) the recipe is here. It really relies in eggs, I am sorry. (www.biggerbolderbaking.com/best-ever-chocolate-cake/) this one would be good with a sub, you can use applesauce or silken tofu or flax egg, I hope this helps :)

[@mairamaria3653]

Gemma Stafford I m ur biggest fan but my concern is that I don't have an oven so can u make a recipe on how to make it in a microwave or in pressure cooker.

[@lfbl4522]

Let me ask something, is the lava of the thing that come from the inside of the cake is it raw batter?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

This is cooked, it is not raw, but rather like a chocolate sauce. If you are worried about your eggs quality, do not do this :)

[@magic2120]

Too good👌👌👌👍

[@mikeangel767]

you are so beautiful great video GOD.BLESS YOUR channel and thank you for sharing

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Thanks a million, Mike! So glad you're enjoying my baking videos. :)

[@katelynngo3722]

Giant lava cake? I think I could still eat the whole thing 😂 Love this! ❤️

[@biggerbolderbaking]

At the risk of arguing with you, oh no you couldn't! lol :)

[@katelynngo3722]

+Gemma Stafford thank you so much for replying! 😂

[@krishnarawat2534]

you make eggless choclqte molten lava cake

[@biggerbolderbaking]

No! i did not find a satisfactory way to do this, sorry :)

[@shamilarilwan3057]

Hello... Gemma... Can u make savoury dishes too ?

[@Mary-en4mz]

Also, I tried lava cake recipe and I accidentally overcooked it. If this happens, DONT WORRY! Honestly, I like it even better when it's cooked all the way through

[@cereal8763]

My personal opinion on lava cake is not great, to me it just seems like underbaked cake and I'm not a fan of raw batter or cookie dough. 😕 I'm sure it's a great recipe though!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Hi Mary, it is a problem with the individual portions to get them just right, a bit easier with this giant one :)

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I am sorry that this one is not for you, though it really is cooked, like a hot chocolate mousse! :)

[@Mary-en4mz]

+Gemma Stafford don't worry! I've made the recipe perfectly cooked and it was soooooo good!!!! One day, I accidentally overcooked it and in my opinion, I thought it was better. So either way, this is a great recipe! :D

[@yasminemohamed4117]

A normal cake is much easier 😂 i have a page so i have to take a pic of every strp it took me abt 2 hours to do molten cake

[@grabotte]

I have a birthday on August 29, I now know the cake I will make ! But to be sure, it is necessary, I must test it before !! ;) :))

[@biggerbolderbaking]

That's the spirit :) lol

[@sindhunadig1093]

Gemma Stafford...really this is amazing but can't we replace eggs with banana or buttermilk as you said on your website?

[@hunteroakley-on2ls]

How many eggs and surgery?

[@biggerbolderbaking]

You can get the measurements in the recipe, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/giant-chocolate-lava-cake/

[@codeplanet2671]

#GemmaStafford I want you to do some basic videos like very much basic baking recipes for people who are starters in baking. Thankyou!

[@serenaabarca7048]

Can you tell me what chocolate you used? I used Hersheys and it did not melt as watery as yours. Also, the cake got hard after baking it for 50 minutes. Any suggestions? Thank you.

[@PatriciaGG]

Congrats Gemma!!!!! This is the king of the chocolate desserts for me. Great recipe. It comes out so delicious and with a perfect texture for Lava Cake. I hope you enjoyed your time vacation in Ireland. Patricia.

[@biggerbolderbaking]

I love this too! special, and easy too : I had a lovely time in Wexford, catching up with family and friends :) thank you.

[@MadeByHailey]

Could you do like a series or just an episode with personal sized lava cakes? I can only find recipes for 4 people so when I want one I have to divide that into quarters which is hard Bc they usually only call for 2-3 eggs.

[@sakshiramrakhiani481]

I had tried many choco lava cakes recipe but no one works for me. I'm totally impressed by your recipe but the problem is eggs. I'm a vegetarian person can u suggest me substitute of eggs. Please I really want a good recipe of chocolava cake.

[@vungloc479]

Please do 3 flavours of lava cake like chocolate, strawberry funfetty,...

[@mina_sir1933]

Plz add the ingredients in the details below the video, that will be a lot easier for us

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Yes, but it is really not so easy for me to get the detail in. (www.biggerbolderbaking.com) all of the recipes, details and videos afe here. I work really hard to get this right for you :)

[@mina_sir1933]

Gemma Stafford I know but I think it's very easy to copy and paste them under your new videos . We will be very grateful

[@bestperson5601]

Why in your website it says 4 egg and 4 yolks when you have more than 8 eggs

[@biggerbolderbaking]

Hi. You are correct and sorry for the confusion. Sometimes in making the video I make extra. And it's difficult to redo videos. As a note, please follow the recipe as that is the standard amount to make in one recipe.

[@bestperson5601]

@@biggerbolderbaking ok thank you I made this yesterday it came ok great my family loved it

[@mrsmommy81]

I can't wait to make this! My hubbys 40th is next week so maybe I'll make this then! If I do I'll tag you in a pic:) ✌🏻️❤️

Please do! And happy early birthday to your husband! :)

[@asiabrown1288]

[@jacquelinenicole1932]

Can you substitute the butter with margarine? Also, Can we use cake tins instead? How to avoid unevenly cooked lava cakes?

Yummm. comes in perfect time. I always felt weird making cakes in small tins. Too much trouble. And little amount of cake to eat lol . this recipe is for me. thanksss

this looks amazing gemma! ❤

[@reetvirk81]

i want to bake it and take it to my work...should i put it in the microwave before serving as i will make a day before..so I do want it a bit warm so can serve with cream::))

33rd wow will you please do gingerbread ice cream and sourdough thanks

[@malmeedissanayake2740]

was this potion you made for the giant lava cake enough for 50 cupcakes? appreciate if you can get back to me soon.

[@abhaymisra6350]

Hey,Gemma can we use condensed milk instead of eggs?Can I also skip the sugar method as I am going to be adding condense milk?

[@alokdixit1177]

can I use some thing else than eggs

[@fizazaki2166]

Alok Dixit no u can't sorry

[@Mishri2005]

Why am I the kind of person to make this and eat it all by myself? Your recipes leave me in a dilemma - they are too good to share yet they are simply so delicious that everyone should get a bite.

[@meteriote45]

So this is my second time watching this and I couldn't help but notice that watching her put the eggs and yolks in the mixer at 1:45 is oddly satisfying and at 7:24 that's satisfying too lol

[@mhargarethpalmes3104]

can Rosanna pansino and you will be together baking? pls...

[@SweetestSweden]

This looks like it could be very easily made gluten-free, from how little flour is actually used. Subbing in some Red Mill's or Knight's would be super easy. Can't wait to try it!

[@biggerbolderbaking]

You are right, gluten has no influence on this one, so it should be perfect, thank you for pointing that out :)
