Molten Chocolate Lava Cake

 Molten Chocolate Lava Cake is warm, chocolaty and fudgy. It's the perfect easy dessert recipe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Something that is easy enough to make every day but elegant enough to serve to company. Something that makes every chocolate lover swoon.

That's where Molten Chocolate Lava Cake makes the perfect dessert. It's somewhere between a slice of cake on the outside with a warm fudge center and is outstanding with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

If you're feeling fancy add a little drizzle of raspberry or strawberry puree and your guest will think you spent hours in the kitchen.

I had a little leftover cake today and it was just as good at room temperature alone as it was with the vanilla ice cream, it reminded me of a good chocolate truffle hidden inside a moist piece of chocolate cake. 

Here's how I make Chocolate Lava Cakes:

In a large sauce pan add:

• 1 cup Good Quality Semi Sweet or Dark Chocolate Chips
• 3/4 cup Butter 

Melt over medium heat, stirring until melted. Remove from heat.

Add to the melted chocolate:

• 1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder
• 1 teaspoon Instant Coffee Granules  

Stir until combined.

Stir in 3 whole eggs 1 at a time. Then stir in the 3 whole Egg Yolks.

Add:

• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 pinch of Salt

Stir until well combined.

Add 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour.

Stir until well combined and smooth.

Butter 6 oven safe cups. Place custard cups on a cookie sheet and divide batter evenly between cups.

Pop these little beauties into a 425 degree preheated oven for 14 minutes. 

Remove from oven and allow to cool for 3 minutes before inverting onto a plate using a pot holder.

Dust Chocolate Lava Cakes lightly with powdered sugar, drizzle with raspberry or strawberry puree and a large scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.

A little piece of chocolate heaven with the most delicious molten chocolate center.
