INDIVIDUAL CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKES BY GHIRARDELLI
I just received my first KitchenAid stand mixer and this recipe was included in their recipes. I love the idea of making a chilled chocolate ball that is added to the batter in order to obtain that gooey yummy center. It says to garnish with raspberries and whipped cream, but I know we like to serve it with vanilla ice cream!!

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your lava cakes. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the lava cakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the cakes rest before baking: Allowing the cakes to rest for 10 minutes before baking will help them to rise evenly.
- Bake the cakes in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cakes bake evenly.
- Do not overbake the cakes: The cakes are done baking when the tops are firm and the centers are still slightly wobbly.
- Serve the cakes immediately: Lava cakes are best served warm and gooey.
Conclusion:
Ghirardelli individual chocolate lava cakes are a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor and molten center, these cakes are sure to impress your guests. Be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your lava cakes turn out perfectly.
