CHEF JOHN'S CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE



Chef John's Chocolate Lava Cake image

Legend has it that this dessert was the result of a major catering disaster. The dessert for this particular event was to be individual chocolate cakes, but someone took them out of the ovens too soon and the centers were not cooked enough and still liquefied. Well, there was no time to take them off the plates and bake them more, so the chef simply had his wait staff introduce the dessert as Chocolate 'Lava' Cake! Brilliant!

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

  • Heat the heavy cream in a small pot until boiling.

CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE FOR TWO



Chocolate Lava Cake for Two image

Chocolate lava cakes gained popularity in the late 1990s thanks to the chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and they have stuck around on dessert menus for good reason: They are rich chocolate cake and velvety sauce all in one, and they are surprisingly easy to make in under an hour. If you like to plan ahead, you can prepare the batter a day in advance, refrigerate it, then pop the cake into the oven when you are ready for dessert. This recipe, made in a 10-ounce baking dish, is meant for sharing, but you can also make it in two 6-ounce ramekins. Just cut the baking time to 7 to 9 minutes. Also, be sure to use chopped chocolate bars or chocolate fèves rather than chocolate chips here. Chips are made with stabilizers that inhibit melting and will negatively affect the texture of your dessert.

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 ounces/85 grams bittersweet chocolate, 70 to 74 percent cacao (not chips), chopped (about 1/2 cup)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes, plus more for the ramekin
3 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus more for the ramekin
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Confectioners' sugar, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees and butter a 10-ounce ramekin. Dust the buttered ramekin with granulated sugar.
  • 2. Combine the chocolate and 3 tablespoons butter in a heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth. (Alternatively, combine in a bowl and microwave in 30-second blasts, stirring in between, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute.) Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the 3 tablespoons sugar, egg, egg yolk, vanilla and salt. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is thick, foamy and pale, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the flour until smooth.
  • Using a spatula, add the chocolate to the egg mixture and stir gently until combined.
  • Pour the mixture into the ramekin. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the edges are set and puffed, but the center is still soft when lightly pressed. (You can also cover and refrigerate the batter up to a day in advance. Add an additional minute or 2 to baking time if you are baking the cake directly from the refrigerator.)
  • Use an offset spatula or small knife to loosen the edges of the cake from the ramekin. Place a plate over the ramekin and carefully invert the warm cake. Use an oven mitt or clean kitchen towel to remove the ramekin, dust the cake with confectioners' sugar and serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE

Provided by Allotta

Categories     Dessert

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
6 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa
3 tablespoons coffee, hot or cold

Steps:

  • In a microwave-safe 2-cup measure, stir together a heaping 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder. Add 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) milk, and a teaspoon of vanilla. Stir till smooth.
  • Mix 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon cocoa, and 3 tablespoons hot or cold coffee. Pour into the cup.
  • Gently swirl it in; don't mix thoroughly.
  • Cook in the microwave for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, depending how powerful your microwave is. When done, it'll look set on top, and kind of mushy around the edges.
  • Turn the cake onto a plate. It'll be layered with... well, let's call it sauce. It's actually semi-baked batter, but since there are no eggs in here, it's fine.

Tips:

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use a high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Make sure the butter and chocolate are melted smoothly and combined well.
  • Do not overmix the batter; overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • The ramekins should be well-greased to prevent the cakes from sticking.
  • Bake the cakes until the edges are set but the centers are still molten; overbaking will result in a dry cake.
  • Let the cakes cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the centers to set slightly.
  • Serve the cakes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
