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 have always wanted a set of these, but could never get up the courage to buy them. I would LOVE to use them to make this yummy molten lava cake and I can't imagine what other things I could come up with. (I love the internet and searching for things, so “uses for Ramekins” would be my next search!)
Um Jamie, I want a ramekin so I can make that molten lava cake. Duh. What else would I want one for? 🙂 I'm getting a bunch of ladies together to make the serving trays! We may have to make some of your yummy treats too while we're at it. Speaking of treats, I made your peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and ate most of them myself. BEST COOKIES EVER!!!! Well, next to your sugar cookie bars anyways. 🙂

I've wanted a ramekin set for ages!! I must say, my creativity has been stunted somewhat without them. I've wanted to make creme brulee, french onion soup, and my absolute FAVE, molten lava cake, but my lack of proper dishware has been limiting. I hope, hope, hope I get picked!-sarah lunt
I would for sure try the molten lava cake – all that yummy, gooey chocolate – yum! I think I would also try to make some individual cheesecakes or some type of cobbler. Desserts all the way!
oh wow, that looks so delish! Brownies baked in those ramekins and then topped with vanilla ice cream would be fabulous!
I got turned on to your blog by one of my married daughters – and have really enjoyed it!!! I've gotten several good recipes and my family has loved them all – so nice to be inspired to cook dinner again. Thank you.
I would love to try these cute ramekins with your chocolate molten lava cake – and rice pudding – and individual pot pies – and anything else I can think of. Thanks again for your inspiration.
I would use them to make this wonderful lava cake! Probably as a big ice cream bowl and maybe even keep them displayed on my kitchen counter top! They are beautiful and would match my decor wonderfully!!
I'd make the molten lava cake, obviously! But the ramekins every day job would be to use for making perfect little circles of microwave-cooked scrambled egg that fit exactly right onto a toasted English muffin for quick and easy homemade “mc” muffins.
Oh wow – thanks for the opportunity to enter. Would you believe that after all these years, I still don't own any ramekins? I know, I should be ashamed! Anyway, I'd definitely use them for Creme Brulee!
🙂

I have wanted to try making creme brulee ever since having some for dessert in a French bistro. However, I don't own any ramekins, so these would definitely allow me to finally try this dessert!
Thanks for the chance to win!
