PAULA DEEN'S MOLTEN LAVA CAKE

I found this in Paula's New Magazine. I felt it would be great for a Valentine's dinner. Paula says this cake is great alone, but it can be topped with vanilla ice cream or a raspberry sauce. The recipe can be made ahead and refrigerated for 2 to 3 days.

Categories     Dessert

Time 15m

Yield 7-9 ramekins, 7-9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup butter, melted
8 ounces semisweet chocolate or 8 ounces dark chocolate
100 g sugar
50 g flour
5 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200-210°C (400°C). Grease or butter ramekins. Make sure you use a lot of butter/oil if you want to invert it onto a plate, otherwise it will stick.
  • Melt the butter and chocolate together and mix. Pour into a big bowl.
  • Sieve in the flour and sugar and whisk.
  • Add the eggs and continue to whisk. If you like a more cake-y texture, keep on whisking until it turns lighter.
  • Pour into ramekins. It took up around 8 ramekins for me, but it really depends on the size.
  • Bake for around 10 minutes. It's best to keep an eye on it just to make sure it doesn't overcook. If it does, it's just a really moist cake, good but not quite as satisfying.
  • Serve with ice cream and strawberries. Or banana. A good idea can be to chop fruit beside it and use the filling as a sort of fondue.

MOLTEN LAVA CAKES

There are a few molten lava cake recipes out there, but in my (and my husband's) opinion, this one is the best. It is terribly easy and I often make these on a weeknight as a special treat for my family. I originally got the recipe from watching Paula Deen but made a bit of a change to suit our family's tastebuds.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and gather all your ingredients and equipment. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the baking process.
  • Use High-Quality Chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will greatly impact the taste of your molten lava cake. Opt for a high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the Batter: Chilling the batter helps to firm it up, which prevents the lava from spreading too much during baking.
  • Bake the Cakes at a High Temperature: Baking the cakes at a high temperature creates a crispy outer layer and a gooey center.
  • Let the Cakes Cool Slightly Before Serving: Allow the cakes to cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to prevent the lava from spilling out when you cut into them.

Conclusion:

Paula Deen's Molten Lava Cake is a decadent and impressive dessert that is sure to wow your guests. With its rich chocolate flavor, gooey center, and crispy outer layer, this cake is a true classic. By following these tips, you can easily make this delicious dessert at home. Serve the molten lava cakes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries for an extra special treat. These cakes are best enjoyed warm, so be sure to eat them soon after they come out of the oven.
