Mini Chocolate Lava Cakes
By mausmi
An incredibly easy recipe from the Vegetarian Times:
The ultimate dessert for serious chocolate lovers, molten cakes are the rage at trend-setting restaurants. Freezing the batter before baking guarantees ooey-gooey success.
Ingredients
- 4 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 4 oz unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1.5 tbs all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Coat 6 6-oz. ramekins with cooking spray, and dust with flour.
- Melt chocolate and butter in double boiler, stirring often. Since I don't have a double boiler, I mix together the chocolate and butter pieces in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 2 minutes at 50% power.
- Beat eggs and sugar with electric mixer at high speed for 3 minutes, or until thick and pale yellow. Fold in chocolate mixture. Sprinkle in flour, and whisk to blend. Divide among prepared ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap, and freeze 6 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 400F. Place ramekins on baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, or until puffed and set around edges, but still somewhat soft in center. Let stand 1 minute. Run sharp knife around edges, and invert onto dessert plates. Serve hot. I like to top the cakes with fresh berries-- delicious!

They go directly into the oven from the freezer.

Thanks for posting this recipe! I also subscribe to Vegetarian Times, and I had tried this. I blogged about my experience, which wasn't as successful as yours with the recipe. But, I probably overcooked.
