Once You Make A Molten Chocolate Lava Cake From Scratch You’ll Never Use Boxed Cake Mix Again!

If you like lava cake, then you are going to obsess over this dessert. The filling is unbelievable. You'll need to make multiples of this, because one serving just isn't enough. Be prepared to stock up on gallons of milk for the ultimate pairing.

Let's Get Started…

Things You Will Need:

¼ cup heavy cream
7 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces, divided
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for ramekins
Demerara or raw sugar (for sprinkling)
3 large eggs
⅓ cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon kosher salt

How To Prepare:

To start off you'll want to heat some cream in a sauce pan, just until it starts to simmer. In a separate bowl, place chocolate at the bottom and then pour your hot cream over top. Continue to stir until your ganache is smooth. Place mixture in the fridge and let chill for at least an hour.
Go ahead and pre heat your oven to 425 degrees and get your ramekins ready by coaching with butter and sugar.
Use six tablespoon of butter and remaining 5 oz of chocolate in a bowl that you can set of a saucepan of simmering water. Continuously stir until your chocolate is melted. If you prefer, you can also use the microwave.
Pull out your electric mixer and beat eggs and brown sugar until they triple in volume. Don't forget to add your vanilla into the mix.
Once your egg mixture is ready, fold in your melted chocolate, along with flour, until smooth.
Place 1/3 cup batter in each ramekin, then top with ganache and remaining batter.
Place in the oven and bake until the tops are firm but the cake itself is still jiggly. This should take about 15 minutes. Let cool for less than a minute before transferring to small plates and serve immediately with ice cream.

Finished!

Note: You can make your ganache ahead of time if you want. As long as you keep it in the fridge and it's sealed tightly, it will last up to a week in the fridge.

Happy Baking & Enjoy!
