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 just bought larger ramekins to make Pazookie's in and would love to have some of the smaller ones too. They are really cute!
I would make this lava cake which when I saw the picture it was so mouth watering that I went and had a some chocolate right away 🙂 I'd also like to try making tarts, and little pot pies, it would be fun to let the kids make there own little meal in a one I think. So what else could I bake those lava cakes in, coffee cup, little pyrex dishes that would probably work right?
The molten lava cakes of course!
definitely a chocolate souffle or molten lava cake. Those ramekins are adorable!
Heather,
Little Pyrex dishes would work. The recipe the Pioneer Woman has on her site uses those. I also read another recipe that said you could bake them in a muffin tin. However you would want to 1/2 the recipe. The recipe I have posted would make 20 cakes….well, maybe you would want 20 cakes! Good luck! Let me know how they turn out!

I would with out a doubt make these lava cakes. YUM!
I would make your lava cakes, some creme brulee, more lava cakes, and more creme brulee. And when I was done eating and cooking I guess I'd have to go buy some more pants! 🙂
These could be used for some cute little chicken pot pies, not to mention all sorts of yummy desserts! First time visiting your site! Love it!
There is so many things I could do with those! Mini cakes, puddings, pies and so many other bad for my hips recipes!
