PAULA DEENS MOLTEN LAVA CAKE

This my first time successfully baking something from scratch! I am 29 weeks pregnant and I was really craving lava cake. My husband said it was "too chocolatey for [his] taste" but I sure like them! My 4 year old thought they were too rich as well; We'll see what my 1 year old thinks when she tries some after dinner tonight!

There are a few molten lava cake recipes out there, but in my (and my husband's) opinion, this one is the best. It is terribly easy and I often make these on a weeknight as a special treat for my family. I originally got the recipe from watching Paula Deen but made a bit of a change to suit our family's tastebuds.

Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the flavor of your molten lava cakes. Look for a high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the batter before baking: Chilling the batter before baking will help the cakes to set up properly and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cakes until the centers are just set: The cakes should be slightly wobbly in the center when you take them out of the oven. If you overbake them, the centers will be dry.
  • Serve the cakes immediately: Molten lava cakes are best served immediately after they are baked, when the centers are still molten.

Conclusion:

Molten lava cakes are a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can easily make these cakes at home. So next time you're looking for a showstopping dessert, give molten lava cakes a try.
