Time 40m

Yield 6 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

Coconut oil cooking spray, for spraying the muffin tin
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus more for dusting the muffin tin
6 ounces semisweet chocolate
6 tablespoons unrefined coconut oil
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon (pinch) fine salt
2 large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons red gel food coloring
3 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray 6 cups of a standard muffin tin with the cooking spray, sprinkle with granulated sugar to cover the entire cup and dust off any excess. This will prevent the lava cakes from sticking. Set aside.
  • Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a double boiler, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the flour and salt and stir until combined. Whisk the eggs and egg yolks together in a small bowl and slowly add to the chocolate mixture. Stir in 1 teaspoon of the red food coloring.
  • In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract and remaining 1 teaspoon red food coloring. Spoon the filling mixture into a disposable pastry or icing bag and make a small cut when ready to fill.
  • Using a heaping 1/4-cup scoop, divide the lava cake mixture among the prepared muffin cups. Fill the centers with about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture. Bake until the edges are firm but the centers are not set, 9 to 11 minutes. Cool for 2 to 3 minutes, invert and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve immediately. (To make ahead, bake for 8 minutes, invert and rewarm in the microwave for 1 minute. Dust with powdered sugar.)

These cakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of lava cakes, but these were really good. The cakes were moist and fluffy, and the ganache was rich and decadent. I will definitely be making these again.

These cakes were a bit too dense for my taste, but the ganache was delicious. I think I'll try making them again with a different cake recipe next time.

I had a bit of trouble getting the cakes to rise properly, but they still tasted good. I'll have to try again and see if I can get them to turn out better next time.

I've tried many lava cake recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cakes are perfectly cooked, with a gooey center. The ganache is also delicious and easy to make.
