Molten Lava Cake - Sweet Punch for October !!!

Hello friends,

Molten Lava Cakes, ok, I have to admit that I cannot stop eating this one. I baked it last night and wanted to eat all just by myself. For a chocoholic like me, it was a challenge to save it for others too... lol 

If you have never had it, then you are surely missing on something and you have to try it out and if you have had it ever, then you know what I am talking about. 

I cannot thank Divya enough on choosing this sinful and mouth watering and lip smacking (I am running out of adjectives to describe it) recipe. Thanks Sweetheart !!!

Now, without further delay, here is the recipe.

Molten Lava Cake
Recipe source - showmethecurry.com


Ingredients
Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate – 4 oz (113g)
Butter – 4 oz (113g)
Eggs – 2
Sugar – 1/3 cup (75 g)
All-purpose Flour – 1/4 cup (40g)
Butter – for greasing ramekins
Preparation
1. In a double boiler, melt chocolate.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, beat Eggs and Sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Once chocolate is melted, remove pan from heat and add in butter. Mix until the butter melts fully.
4. Add chocolate/butter mixture into the eggs, add all-purpose flour and mix until well incorporated.
5. Butter bottom and sides of ramekins (small glass/porcelain bowls) and pour in mixture about 3/4 way full.
6. Place ramekins on a baking tray and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 C) for 10 – 15 minutes. Shorter for gooey (molten) inside, longer for stiff inside.
7. Serve hot with vanilla ice cream.

P.S - Some people find it gross to have cakes with uncooked centers[not me!!] and feel the lava is nothing but uncooked batter.I have a solution for that too--if you feel so too,just place a chocolate chunk in between--pour half the batter into the ramekin and place a chocolate chunk,and pour the remaining batter and cook for a longer time than mentioned.You could also place cold ganache in between,choices are numerous!!

That's all for now. Take care till next post.
