Chocolate-Espresso Lava Cakes With Espresso Whipped Cream image

A friend served these at a dinner party a few years back and I HAD to have the recipe. Given my friend, I'm assuming the recipe came from Bon Appetit at some point.

Time 3h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
6 teaspoons instant espresso powder
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup salted butter, melted
1 cup sugar
1 cup golden brown sugar, packed
4 large eggs
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chilled whipping cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Sift flour, cocoa, 5 teaspoons espresso powder and baking powder into a medium bowl.
  • Put butter in a large bowl. Add white and brown sugar and whisk to blend well. Whisk in eggs one at a time. Whisk in vanilla and almond extracts.
  • Whisk in dry ingredients.
  • Divide batter among six 1 cup ramekins. Top each with 2 tablespoons chocolate chips. Gently press chips into batter.
  • Cover and refrigerate for several hours.
  • Whip cream, powdered sugar and remaining espresso powder together into whipped cream.
  • Preheat oven to 350F, rack in center position. Remove ramekins from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes, or until cakes are puffed and crusty but a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a thick batter attached.
  • Cool cakes for five minutes and serve hot, topped with the whipped cream.

Not a fan of espresso, so I omitted it from the recipe. The cakes still turned out great!

These lava cakes were a bit too dense for my liking. I think I would have preferred a lighter, airier texture.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my lava cakes didn't turn out as pictured. They were still tasty, but they didn't have the gooey center that I was expecting.

These lava cakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still enjoyable. The espresso whipped cream helped to balance out the sweetness.
