My husband has always been the one with a passion for chocolate desserts. Me? I am not a chocolate lover, I prefer fruit desserts.
For the longest time chocolate cake was never really on my list of favorites. If choosing between a banana cake and a chocolate cake, I would not hesitate for a second…I’ll take the banana. But after eating these Chocolate Molten Cakes with vanilla ice cream, I have changed my tune. This simple, rich and delicious chocolate cake has become one of my favorite desserts.
Buen provecho!
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter plus more for greasing the pans
5 oz semi-sweet chocolate
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 egg yolks
3 eggs
1/2 cup all purpose flour
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 450 F.
2.Butter small ramekins or muffin pans. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter and the chocolate over medium heat.Heat, stirring occasionally to combine, until the chocolate and butter are melted.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the yolks and eggs, then add the sugar. Add the chocolate mixture and whisk until well combined.
4.Then whisk in the all purpose flour. Divide the butter among the ramekins.
5. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for about 5 to 7 minutes. The outside of the cake will be ready, but the inside should be very soft.

Love the chocolate oozey baby! My kind of dessert! Yum!
I’m not really a chocolate fan either…but warm molten chocolate. That I can’t resist. These look heavenly!
Thank you everyone!
Chocolate….sinful…decadent…..but the love of my life…..
What a great desert!
I could easily live without chocolate but I do enjoy these kinds of desserts: like sticky toffee cake, or pudding cakes. The texture is what does me in and I think this is the best way to enjoy something chocolatey. Very pretty.
i don’t go crazy about chocolate desserts, but there’s no way i can deny how tasty this looks. i ADORE oozing, melted chocolate. sinful.
Looks amazing, but I was thinking when you were talking about chocolate and bananas why not have them both together? I can see myself dipping my banana in the middle of the gooey chocolate.
I hear you. I am fruit dessert person too. But this bowl of gorgeousness is going to be licked clean by A and the kids!!! I have to make it for them at least once.
oooooooh,…aaaaaaaah,….oooooh: Now, this is one fantastic chocolate lovers desert!!
I would like to savour it right awy,…thanks!!!
You are not a chocolate lover? Whaaaaaaat? I have a friend in Brazil and her daughter doesn’t like chocolate, she actually hate it. Oh Boy! your warm molten chocolate cake thingy is making me dizzy. I so need one right now. LOL
Hi, I tried this chocolate cake recipe yesterday but somehow couldn’t achieve the same result as you, my cake really wasn’t looking that good (atleast it tasted good). What sort of chocolate are you using? Maybe it’s coming from the flour I used, i’m gluten intelorant so I used amaranth flour instead of regular wheat flour.
Jacalyn- I used all purpose flour and I used semi sweet chocolate, but I don’t remember the brand.
O.K., I don’t mean to sound ignorant but, are you using 6 eggs total? 3 yolks only, and then 3 more eggs with the egg whites included? Or do you mean 3 eggs total? Thanks
Deb- yes!!! 3 yolks and 3 whole eggs.
Is this recipe colombian???
Kevin-NO
school project yummy extra credit
How many ramekins did you use?
So, isn’t chocolate molten cake a chocolate lava cake?
Is it still ok if you use semi-sweet CHOCOLATE CHIPS??? Cause im making it now.
