Molten Chocolate Lava Cake

 Molten Chocolate Lava Cake is warm, chocolaty and fudgy. It's the perfect easy dessert recipe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Molten Chocolate Lave Cake is a delicious chocolate cake with a warm fudge center. Easy to make dessert recipe and great with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle of raspberry sauce from Serena Bakes Simply From Scratch.

Something that is easy enough to make every day but elegant enough to serve to company. Something that makes every chocolate lover swoon.

That's where Molten Chocolate Lava Cake makes the perfect dessert. It's somewhere between a slice of cake on the outside with a warm fudge center and is outstanding with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

If you're feeling fancy add a little drizzle of raspberry or strawberry puree and your guest will think you spent hours in the kitchen.

I had a little leftover cake today and it was just as good at room temperature alone as it was with the vanilla ice cream, it reminded me of a good chocolate truffle hidden inside a moist piece of chocolate cake. 

Here's how I make Chocolate Lava Cakes:

Butter and chocolate chips in a large sauce pan.

In a large sauce pan add:
  • 1 cup Good Quality Semi Sweet or Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 3/4 cup Butter 
Melt over medium heat, stirring until melted. Remove from heat.

Powdered Sugar, Cocoa Powder, Instant Coffee Granules in pot with melted chocolate.

Add to the melted chocolate:
  • 1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Instant Coffee Granules  
Stir until combined.

Eggs in melted chocolate mixture for Chocolate Lava Cake.

Stir in 3 whole eggs 1 at a time. Then stir in the 3 whole Egg Yolks.

Add:
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 pinch of Salt
Stir until well combined.

Flour add to Molten Chocolate Lava Cake Batter.

Add 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour.

Stir until well combined and smooth.

6 oven safe cups filled with Molten Chocolate Lava Cake batter.

Butter 6 oven safe cups. Place custard cups on a cookie sheet and divide batter evenly between cups.

Pop these little beauties into a 425 degree preheated oven for 14 minutes. 

Remove from oven and allow to cool for 3 minutes before inverting onto a plate using a pot holder.


Dust Chocolate Lava Cakes lightly with powdered sugar, drizzle with raspberry or strawberry puree and a large scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Warm molten chocolate coming out of the center of a Lava Cake is what makes these a favorite dessert recipe from Serena Bakes Simply From Scratch.

A little piece of chocolate heaven with the most delicious molten chocolate center.
