Provided by Kittencalrecipezazz

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (18 ounce) box chocolate cake mix (use Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker cake mix)
1 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise (use only mayo for this)
1 cup water
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 (3 1/2 ounce) instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups water
2 cups milk
1/3 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
  • In a mixing bowl using an electric mixer beat the cake mix with the mayo, water, eggs and cinnamon for 30 seconds on low speed.
  • Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes.
  • Pour the batter into prepared baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl combine the two packages of pudding mix with 2 cups water, 2 cups milk and 1/3 cup sugar; beat on low speed until blended.
  • Pour on top of the cake batter.
  • Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted along edge comes out clean.
  • Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 50% is ideal.
  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients to blend together smoothly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
  • Fill the ramekins only about 2/3 full. The cakes will rise as they bake.
  • Bake the cakes until the tops are just set and the centers are still a little gooey. If you overbake them, they will be dry.
  • Let the cakes cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to set and keep their shape.

Conclusion:

These chocolate lava cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a decadent treat that will impress your friends and family.
