My buddy Anemone showed me this yummy looking Chocolate Lava Cake recipe and we made a date to come over my place to make it. It was really fun for friends to cook together!

I don’t normally have a sweet tooth, and I wasn’t really acquainted with this French dessert, but my friend convinced me that I will like it. She was right – it was really good! Not too sweet like most desserts are, and just the right amount of chocolatey-ness. Not just any chocolate, but warm & oozing runny chocolate goodness (hence the names chocolate lava cake/molten chocolate cake/chocolate fondant pudding).
Both my friend and I agreed that it is a very simple recipe and we succeeded in making it to the right consistency on the first attempt (chocolate oozing out when cut in the middle). I think this is an excellent dessert to serve when entertaining guests – simply prepare everything in advance, and after your guests have finished their main course, just pop the ramekins into the oven for 10 minutes. Your guests will really be impressed with how effortless you whip up a warm and delicious dessert with no sweat and in no time at all – never mind the messy behind-the-scenes, you would have washed up before they arrived.
Thanks for the recipe! Its pretty easy to follow and received good reviews! However, as I do not have ramekins, I tried it on those bendable silicon muffins tray and when i flipped it over the choc began oozing out! Perhaps should try to bake it for 12 min or longer. Thanks again!
Lovely recipe with BEAUTIFUL pics!!

Thanks for the recipe! I made it this morning using muffin case (Diameter 5cm, those sturdy ones for cupcakes). I baked it for 10mins but it was perhaps too long for this size so the chocolate did not flow out. Will reduce the baking time to 9mins the next time. I can’t believe how easy it is to put this together. Thanks for sharing! :)
Thanks for great recipe with very little flour :)
I baked it as cupcakes and it came out very yummy :)
Hey Wiffy,
I have tried your recipe numerous times and I have to say its absolutely amazing! Everyone loves it!! But lately the grocery stores don’t have 70% dark chocolate. I bought 85% dark chocolate. Would that change the taste. Should I add a lil more sugar to the recipe?
Thanks.
I think the higher the % the more bitter it is. After making the batter, you can use your finger to dab a small bit to taste test, and adjust to taste accordingly.
Hi there!
Do u know how to store left over of these super yummy cake? I can’t seem to find a way to store it and reheat it without cooking it through:(
Hi Wiffy,
Can I use salted butter for this chocolate lava cake?
Hi wiffy
thanks for sharing this fabulous recipe! I made this and I have a problem removing the chocolate cake from the rameskin. For the first one, I removed it after 2-3 minutes. When I turned it around, the lava layer oozed out and so I got a lava cake with the already oozed out effect without even cutting it open. For the second one, I waited for about 7minutes and only the lava part came out.Meaning I was left with a hole in the centre in the rameskin (lava part on the plate) and the rest ofthe cake still in the rameskin!
I already buttered the rameskin. Any other reasons for what I have encountered? Or suggestions to solve this. Thanks!
Sorry to ask this… just to check if you did use the spoon/knife to go round the side of the rameskin before you remove the cake from the rameskin? Buttering it may still resulted it to stick to the side..
