Chocolate molten lava cake ingredients: -4 ounces semisweet chocolate -1 stick butter -2 eggs yolks and 2 whole eggs -1/4 cup granulated sugar -2 tbs flour directions: melt you butter and chocolate in a double boiler. mix your eggs and sugar in a stand mixer until thick and light butter your ramekins and flour them and make sure to remove any excess flour for better results when chocolate and butter is already mixed pour it slowly unto your egg and sugar mixture when all incorporated add you flour and make sure to scrape every after mixing pour your mixture unto your ramekins and bake at 450 degrees for 7-8 minutes (dont bake for too long to have that very chocolatey center)

I know it's going on a year now, but with chocolate cakes I always dust my bakeware with cocoa powder. It works just as well and there's no chance of flour spoiling the look of the chocolate cake.

[@momzilla9491]

Drkjk, what an awesome idea. Thanks! I've got just the cake for that Coco Powder!

[@dippster357]

That's what i do too! I don't know why most don't think of that and now why i'm typing this it hit me! and it hurt too Ooch! lol because most dust their cakes with powdered sugar i think that's why!

[@rajeswariuddanti]

Good idea .. will try next time 👍

[@hafsa1005]

FINALLY THE PERFECT RECIPE!!!! I have tried so many lava cake recipes before but THIS one wins the prize. just made it and it turned out A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. the texture of outer cake was soft and spongy and the lava was gooey and deliciously chocolaty. love it and gonna make it again and again and again!!!

Clear, good explanation of possible pitfalls.

For this i changed the ingredients a bit (by accident) and it still came out great: 3 medium eggs 100g sugar 2 and half tbspoon of flour 100g of dark chcolate 100g of butter and i didnt have any ramekins so I just filled cupcake cases up and it worked fine!

The trick with the tongs is so handy!! :D

[@joanneazizi6478]

I've been looking for molten cakes all day to make for grand daughters birthday, I wanted to make it and wait before cooking, but not one video I viewed said if it was possible. I found you at the last minute, and you answered my question. Thanks, the video was very easy to follow.

[@LaulenaHarvey]

Molten Chocolate Cake Martha Stewart Link to Video Ingredients 4 ounces of Semi sweet chocolate (54%cocoa) 1 stick of butter(½ inch cubes) 2 egg yolks(RoomTemp) 2 whole eggs(Room Temp) 1/4 cup of sugar 2 tsp all purpose flour, plus a bit for dusting the ramekins Preparation Oven preheated to 450 Fahrenheit, 7-8 minutes Cut chocolate with serrated knife Cut butter 1/stick into half inch cubes Add chocolate to double broiler and then add butter Melt together stirring occasionally until nicely blended. Once melted turn off the heat. You Do not want the chocolate to get too hot remove from heat once melted wiping the bottom of the bowl to remove any excess moisture. In a separate bowl beat together Eggs(2 Yolks and 2 Whole Eggs) and Sugar Whip them up on Medium speed. 4 Oz Ramekins brushed with softened butter. Dust with flour. Then discard excess flour and give ramekin a good tap upside down to remove any excess flour (Tip I used Cocoa Powder instead of flour it works Wonderfully and tastes better than flour. ) Once Egg mixture has almost Tripled in Volume Then Reduce the speed Slightly then slowly pour the Melted Chocolate into Egg Mixture while it still beats in the Mixer. Then Scrape side of bowl to evenly incorporate mixture and add 2 Teaspoons of All Purpose Flour. And Gently Stir together until incorporated. Put about 3 Oz of mixture into the 4 Dusted Ramekins Cook for about 7-8 min longer they cook less molten they will be. (Tip can be refrigerated while in liquid form before cooking just bring them up to room temp before cooking them) To Serve Remove from oven. Then using a pair of tongs covered in a paper towel secured to the tong with a pair of rubber bands, place a plate on top of the Ramekin and flip the cake out. The tongs help with the gripping of the ramekin.

Thomas is the best! He explains everything perfectly. Even if you know your ways around the kitchen... some tips are always new.

[@blueheavens90]

I tried it and it was amaaaaaaaaaazing :D You can also add cocoa powder to make it look darker and vanilla for the eggs. I could not find ramekins so I used foil cups and they totally worked too.

[@shreyashreesarkar5141]

Thank you Thomas Joseph! I baked this molten lava cake for my mom's birthday. She loved it! We all loved it! Thanks a lot!

1 stick of butter... I mean... I thought I was trippin

[@deshanlokuge5636]

Thomas joseph... you are a legend my man !!!

[@sandrasanzenbacher232]

That is a pretty desert and I'm sure full of flavor.

[@Michaliey]

I have made this twice so far. Depending on how big ur ramekin is changes how much time u should leave it in the oven. I use a smaller ramekin (the clear glass one) and leaving it in for 8 min was perfect. Also I added a piece of Hershey’s milk chocolate in the center and it became even better. 10/10 recommend. Very easy recipe. Will be testing more things to put in the center. I’m thinking next to put either caramel or white chocolate.

[@yin6177]

Can you coat the ramekins in cocoa powder instead of flour? 😅

[@Wooooosah]

or powdered sugar for a slight crisp on the outside ;) that's what i did :)

[@BlowikCZ]

The best is a mixture of cocoa and sugar ;)

[@MNJGaGa]

BlowikCZ and bit of cinnamon powder. 😬

[@fizazaki2166]

Emily Henford y not for even chocolate flavour ryt😆

[@AliSparks2]

Emily Henford yes! You could probably use powdered sugar too

[@lezliejosetteyi2987]

i was just searching some cake to do and i find these its beautiful and simple thanks

[@ShaunshankRedemption]

when you're flouring the ramekins, you should use half flour half cocoa powder(not hot chocolate powder btw). it gives a darker, richer colour when you turn them out.

[@dippster357]

I think they don't because they ( most people ) put powdered sugar on it anyway but i use the cocoa powder too! and i don't sprinkle powder sugar on mine.

[@deepaarora6649]

I have tried it... its super duper recipe 😍😘😘😘😘

[@genesise5187]

isnt it just uncooked in the middle?

[@clyin3892]

Yes an that is what special about molten chocolate cake :) but due to the very high temperature, the eggs are cooked and its safe to eat

[@fabianofcarlos]

No, it is cooked but it's not baked. That's what gives the molten texture. It's almost like chocolate cream.

[@IANE3177]

Thank you for clarifying that. I was concerned about the eggs.

[@elnymiel]

It supposed to be like that.. Goey inside that's why it's called lava cake.

[@cameronpriest2916]

Its actually not supposed to be done that way. It should be molten because you are supposed to put a frozen chunk of ganache in the center before baking so that it melts and makes it molten.

[@klose1612]

I don't normally comment on KZbin videos but yours are always so well-developed and educational in content. Nice job, keep these kitchen conundrum coming, please!

[@erins.5420]

I've heard these molten cakes should be eaten soon after baking. It can not be made in advance, is this true?

[@youknowme3311]

It is true. The chocolate on the inside has to be hot. I strongly suggest that you add vanilla ice cream instead of the whipped cream. You won't wish for another desert if you try it like this. :)

[@areejhassan6987]

Erin S. According to me Thomas means that you can make the batter ahead of time and then bake it off when you need to.

[@dwighthoward9658]

Erin S.; when he said you can make them in advance, he was talking about the batter. He said you could prepare the batter and pour it into the cups ahead of time, and simply refrigerate until you're ready to bake them

[@erins.5420]

Dwight Howard and A Hassan, yes I heard him say that. I'm talking about after making them. I've had these lava cakes in restaurants before and was told that they need to be ordered with plenty of time ahead and eaten right away. They also won't sell it for take out orders. I am curious if this recipe was on the same lines as it needing to be eaten right away to enjoy the cake the way it is intended.

[@GeorgiaAndrea]

Erin S. Yes, as it will continue cooking in the ramekin and the lava centre will be gone if you leave it in for too long.

[@oneness6691]

I think at last hv got d perfect way to make lava cake,thanks dear

[@dededede8888]

My question about the origin of this recipe, I really want to know Is it the real recipe or , the other one when you have to insert a frozen piece of chocolate ganache inside the cake ?

[@drunkenmasterii3250]

This is the real one

[@bnig98jr97]

This is the actual recipe, which was invented due to an accident *groan*

[@williamramirez4857]

I was just about to ask the same thing. Lol. I think I'd prefer the frozen ganache better than eating the raw batter cause you could use any chocolate you want. I'm gonna attempt to do both types of cakes to see which is easier.

In the words of Chef Carl Casper "Chocolate lava cake is not just undercooked chocolate cake. That's not what makes the center molten. You take a frozen cylinder of ganache, and set it the ramekin... so as the outside cooks fully, the inside becomes molten!"

[@VicMeep]

What about a domino's lava cake? Somehow those lava cakes are kinda crunchy and crispy with a really fudgy inside.

[@marianneazar]

They line it with butter and sugar. Whipped cream consistency butter, brush a thick amount onto your ramekins, and put sugar in the ramekin to cover it all. Roll and let excess fall on a plate as you so. Repeat the sugar part. This should give a crispy exterior and fishy inside. This reply is 4y late but i hope it helps someone!!
