Lava Cake...1st attempt

Lava Cake

Hello! Actually I wanted to bake lava muffins (Chocolate muffins with liquid content) but it did not work out. But anyway, these chocolate cakes were delicious and I thought that I must share this recipe with you.

Ingredients:

  • 150 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
  • 20 g flour
  • 2 eggs + 1 egg yolk
  • A pinch of  salt
  • 10 g cocoa
  • 80 g butter
  • 90 g icing sugar
  • 1 package vanilla sugar

ingredients lava cake

Preparation:

Coarsely chop the chocolate and melt over water bath, stirring constantly. Once the chocolate has melted, add butter and continue stirring (until the butter also melts). Then let it cool down.
 
                                              
Mix the eggs with the icing and vanilla sugar with an electric mixer for 5-6 minutes. In the end, the cream should have a fluffy consistency.
 
                                            
Carefully add the chocolate mixture and continue stirring. Consecutively add cocoa, flour and salt.
 
                                              
Dust the forms (ideally, you should take aluminum molds. I had none, and I used paper muffin molds) or well-greased cups with cocoa. Give the chocolate mixture into the forms (should not full because they grow).

…and bake in the preheated oven at 180 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes. The surface should be firm and slightly curved, and have fine cracks. Take out the baking tin from the oven and let the cakes rest for about 2 minutes in the molds. Put them on a dessert plate and dust with cocoa.

As I said in the beginning, my cakes did not have a liquid core, but were still good. I've given too much chocolate mixture in the forms and they had to stay more in the oven. Although my attempt failed, I'll try it again anyway and you will be informed of the result.

And, did it worked for you?
