Mga Sangkap

Mga Serving:
6
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • Pinch of salt
  • 50 g sugar
  • 114 g butter, unsalted, cut into pieces
  • 170 g semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 16 g all purpose flour
  • 8 g powdered sugar
  • Optional ice cream and raspberries for serving

Mga Tagubilin

  1. 1

    Place the butter and chocolate in a bowl. Set it over a pot of barely simmering water (making a double-boiler) and allow them to melt, stirring frequently. Set aside to cool (but not for too long, you don't want this mixture to harden, just to cool so it doesn't cook the eggs once we add them.)

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Butter and lightly flour 6 ramekins (5.5–7 oz/155–200g each). Cut out a small piece of parchment that fits inside each ramekin and place it on the bottom. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Beat the eggs with salt and sugar on high speed of your mixer until thick and pale.

  4. 4

    Fold the cooled chocolate into the eggs with a rubber spatula. Sift the flour into the chocolate egg mixture and finish folding with a rubber spatula. Divide the mixture between the ramekins. You may proceed to the next step immediately or refrigerate the ramekins for 30 minutes (this will keep the inside even gooier).

  5. 5

    Transfer the baking sheet with the ramekins into the preheated oven and bake for 7–10 minutes, until the outside and top are set but the middle is soft and jiggly.

  6. 6

    Allow the cakes to cool for a minute or so, then place a plate on top of each ramekin and invert it. Dust each cake with some powdered sugar. Serve with ice cream and berries and enjoy.

FAQ

Can you make chocolate lava cake ahead of time?+
Yes! You can prepare the batter up to 2 hours ahead and refrigerate it in the ramekins, then bake when ready—this actually helps the lava center stay molten. You can also freeze unbaked cakes for up to 3 months; just add 1-2 minutes to the baking time straight from the freezer.
Why isn't my lava cake runny in the middle?+
You're likely overbaking it—the centers should still jiggle slightly when you gently shake the ramekin at 12-13 minutes. If your oven runs hot, start checking at 11 minutes, since even 30 seconds too long can set the center.
Can you use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet?+
Absolutely! Dark chocolate will give you a richer, less sweet cake—use 70% cacao or higher depending on how intense you like it. You might want to add an extra 1/2 tablespoon of sugar if you go very dark since the cake won't be as sweet.
What's the best way to serve chocolate lava cake?+
Serve it immediately while still warm with vanilla ice cream on top—the melting ice cream mingles perfectly with the warm chocolate center. A sprinkle of powdered sugar and fresh raspberries also add nice contrast and brightness to balance the richness.
