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!
The first thing I would make in them would be those molten lava cakes! Individual egg casseroles, homemade pudding, to store small amounts of leftovers for the next days lunch… I'd put mine to good use. Great giveaway!
I would use them to make that those awsome molten lava cakes you are posting. I have also been wanting to try my hand at creme brulee. So I would make those two recipes first.
What adorable ramekins! I think I would probably use them as you did to make molten chocolate cakes, because I haven't made them in SO long, or I'd try some chocolate souffle's!
I would definitely use them to make your molten lava cakes! I love molten lava cake!
Of course I try the molten lava cakes, but these would be perfect for mini pot pies.
These look like very versatile dishes. You could of course bake in them and make the molten lava cake but could also be used for things on the table like sour cream or salad items to be added if you choose like bacon or for snack items like nuts and mints.
I LOVE your blog… best recipes ever! after using the ramekins to make the lava cakes I would use them to make creme brulee. YUM!
I have never owned a set and I would love to try new things with them like this cake!
Oooh I would love these! They are so cute! I just got a vita-mix and so I love to make healthy ice cream, these bowls would be cute to have the ice cream in. Plus I want to try making this lava cake-yummmmmm.
I would for sure try your recipe for Molten Lava Cakes – they look fabulous, and they use ingredients that I always have on hand – dinner guests would be in heaven!!! I would also use them for Peach Crumble, Trifles, and of course Vanilla Ice Cream with your Chocolate Sauce (If anyone hasn't tried this recipe yet, it is a WINNER.)
