Wow! That picture’s bright enough to knock your socks off, isn’t it!
It just shouts out….
Eat me!
Eat me!
Rah Rah!
Eat me!
No, I wasn’t a cheer leader in high school.
Those of you who know me from high school are nodding your head and thinking…
“Nope, no way (chuckle, chortle) that girl is not coordinated. Isn’t she the one with the husky male singing voice and really big feet?”
Those two qualities alone do not a cheer leader make.
But if I could cheer for this fabulous Molten Lava Cake, I would!
It is seriously like a party in your mouth my friends.
A fun old party.
This recipe makes 8 ramekins full of heavenly chocolate bliss.
(You could easily 1/2 the recipe if you only want 4 ramekins full of chocolate bliss.)
When your fork hits the center of the cake it just oozes out all over your plate….
I told you it was going to be a party in your mouth.
Molten Lava Cake
Yield: 8 Servings
Time: 40 minutes
Recipe adapted from: Kraft Foods
8 squares Baker’s Semi Sweet Chocolate
1 C butter (2 sticks)
2 C + 2 T powdered sugar
4 eggs
4 egg yolks
1 t vanilla
dash salt
12 T flour
1. In a medium sized microwaveable dish melt your chocolate and butter. Heat it up in 1 minute intervals, taking it out and stirring between each interval.
2. When it’s nice and melted stir it all around to incorporate the butter into the chocolate.
3. Add the powdered sugar and stir to incorporate.
4. Add the eggs and egg yolks and blend them in with a wire whisk. Add the vanilla and salt and stir.
5. Stir in the flour.
6. Generously butter the insides of the Ramekins.
7. Pour the batter into the cups.
8. Bake at 425 degrees for 13 to 14 minutes. You want the out sides to be firm, but the center to be soft. Take them out of the oven and let the cute little darlings just sit there for a minute or two.
9. Run a knife around the edge of the dish and turn it upside down on your serving plate. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Enjoy the party!
I would use them to make eggs, these lava cakes, pudding tarts and anything else. I don't have any pretty little dishes like these. They look like fun!!! It would be a treat to learn how to use them!
Jaimie,
I have been following your recipes for a while and each time I come across one that is absolutely devine I have to try it out. I looked on the cookware.com site to see the different types and all I can say is I am willing to try this out even though it scares me to death to try something new. I made my boyfriend your Pecan Pie and he loved it so much that's all I make for him on speacial occasions. He is culinary artist himself and I'm always looking for ways to his heart… through his stomache hehe.
I would try pot pie's. I love pot pies. Or even maybe a cupcake or muffin of some kind. These are really cute dishes, I'm sure there are a lot you can do with these, I love to try new things. And their the perfect size to. Very cute and thanks for the yummy recipe for the Molten Lava Cake, can't wait to try it!!! Thanks Jamie

I have been experimenting with ramekins as of late, but I don't have enough for the whole family. Can't wait to try this recipe! Lovin' the yummy blog.
P.S. Are you interested in new things to try?
P.P.S. Okay, cheer wasn't really your thing, but you had a million other talents for us to envy. Not to brown-nose, totally true.
Well I would have to try these lava cakes for sure! Whenever I go out to eat and actually have room for dessert, I get a lava cake. I'm also a big fan of souffles, so those would be on the list as well.
I use my ramekins for EVERYTHING, and recently just broke three of them!!! My kids love getting their own serving bowl. I would love a cute new set like these!
I would make these lava cakes, and probably creme brulee. They are beautiful ramakins!
