Are you craving a decadent and indulgent dessert that will satisfy your sweet tooth? Look no further than the irresistible Lava Cake, a chocolate lover’s dream come true. This delicious dessert features a rich and moist chocolate cake with a luscious, molten center that oozes out when you take a bite.
Ingredients and Preparation
“Für 6 Stück: 200g Zartbitter-Schokolade, 140g Butter (plus etwas für die Formen), 4 Eier (Kl. M), 100g Zucker, 1 Pk. Vanillezucker, 1 Prise Salz, 80g Mehl. Außerdem: Soufflé-Förmchen (7–8 cm Durchmesser)”
Instructions:
- Gently chop the dark chocolate and melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the chopped chocolate to the melted butter and stir until it melts, creating a smooth mixture.
- Grease the soufflé molds to prevent sticking.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, and salt until creamy and frothy, for about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the melted chocolate-butter mixture and flour to the egg mixture, stirring until well combined and smooth.
- Divide the batter evenly among the greased soufflé molds.
- Bake the cakes in a preheated oven at 190 degrees Celsius for 12 minutes, or until the tops are set and slightly cracked. The center should still be soft and creamy.
- Allow the cakes to cool for a few minutes, then gently remove them from the molds and invert onto a plate.
To ensure the perfect molten center, it is essential to monitor the baking time carefully. Depending on your oven, the cakes may need slightly more or less time. The center will be liquid after about 10 minutes of baking, and it will be creamy and soft after 12 minutes. It is recommended to do a trial run to determine the ideal baking time for your desired lava cake consistency.
Serving Suggestions
No dessert is complete without a delicious accompaniment. Lava cakes pair wonderfully with a variety of toppings and side dishes. One popular choice is to serve the warm chocolate cakes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and fresh fruits. Alternatively, you can drizzle a sweet sauce such as vanilla, caramel, or berry sauce over the lava cakes for an extra burst of flavor.
