Sorry for the lack of posts! I'm back now, though! Anyways, I'm only in CA for another week until I head back home. As a little goodbye treat, I decided to make some homemade molten lava cakes. I was home alone yesterday and I thought it would be a nice little surprise for everyone.
Sorry there are are no pics of the oozy middle, I didn't realize the pics were blurry. I would have retaken pictures, but obviously there were no survivors.
THE RECIPE:
(makes about 4)
- 4 blocks of semisweet baking chocolate (if you don't have this, each block is about an ounce - 8 ounces is one cup, so half a cup of semi sweet chocolate chips will do! That's what I did!)
- 2 eggs
- 2 yolks
- 1 cup of powdered/confectioner's sugar (YIKES...)
- 6 tablespoons of flour
- 1/2 cup of butter
optional: whipped cream/ice cream (the cakes are rich, so this helps)
DIRECTIONS!!:
- Preheat oven 425 F
- Melt the butter and chocolate together (microwave it or double boiler...it doesn't matter)
- Add in the eggs and yolks
- Add in the sugar
- Add in the flour
- Add into ramequins (This recipe calls for custard cups, I just used 7/8 oz ramequins. Don't fill them up all the way, they do rise a little. You also want to film them up evenly.)
- MAKE SURE YOU GREASE THE RAMEQUINS BEFORE! I used butter and then I dusted the ramequin with chocolate powder
- bake them for about 12-14 minutes...make sure the edges are firm and the middle is soft...BUT NOT TOO SOFT...but soft enough for the oozy goodness
