WOW, this is a fabulous recipe! Turned out perfectly and was declared the best dessert they ever tasted. Thanks for the great recipe!
This was the most delicious molten cake, and so simple! I had been craving to make it homemade since I had it at a restaurant a few months ago, and this recipe surpasses my expectations! I served it with ice cream instead of whipped cream. Three thumbs up!!
I have made these with gluten free flour and soy butter substitute for celiac and dairy allergy accommodations and it still comes out great! In the original Everyday Food it offers the suggestion to make ahead and keep in fridge and add a minute or two to the cooking - have left in friend's fridge as a welcome home treat with directions - great gift with many happy returns
Excellent recipe. I got 7 perfect size cakes. Baked for 10 mins and served with ice cream. Good size recipe since they really wouldn't be any good left over. Made the batter the night before and baked during dinner. Perfect.
I made these for this V day..and overall I'm happy with this recipe. I cut the recipe in half, used only 1 large egg and ended up with 3 perfect looking individual cakes. I kept it in the oven for 10 mins and it turned out more cakey b/c there was only a tiny bit of lava left in the middle (still it was very tasty). Make sure to ONLY keep it for 8 mins! Will definitely be making this again.
I used the recipe from the cookbook - the time for cooking is 12-14 minutes. They came out perfectly at 12 minutes. Very easy and delicious!
This is one of the best desserts I have ever tried. So simple and a definite crowd pleaser. The sugar lined cupcake tins give a beautiful crunchy crust that complements the soft cake and molten center. This recipe is so easy. Don't be afraid - give it a try!
I used to bake these in ceramic mugs that were nice enough for serving, and then they didn't have to stand up to unmolding. I used porcelain mugs that were about 2 inches high with straight sides, which had a beautiful, red glaze. After a few years of using those mugs to bake the cakes for Valentinen n n n n n s Day, the glaze began to craze. So donn n n n n n t use any heirloom pieces as baking containers.
Mine came out runny. Did everyone have luck with the cakes holding its shape after being turn out from the pans?
Mine came out so runny that when I tried to turn out the cakes, they all just poured out like a gob of runny chocolate. Was anyone else able to get the cakes to come out and hold its shape? What did I do wrong? I really thought that I followed the recipe to the T, we even had it in the oven for 10 minutes instead of 8. And we let them stand cool for another 10 min.
They came out very good! watch out not to overheat, so the middle won't be solid. 8 minutes should be enough (don't forget that they still bake themselves a little even after you pull them put of the oven).
It's also easy and quick- I made them even after the guests arrived.
My bad- I think I hadn't fully pre-heated the oven last time so 8 minutes didn't cut it, but then I made them again and overcooked them in 12 minutes. So 8 minutes is accurate.
I had no idea molten chocolate cake could be so EASY to make! I recommend trying different chocolates until you find the one that you really like. I love making these for gifts - high impact with lower effort.
These cakes are so easy and take little time to make. They come out perfectly if you follow the directions. Delicious!
What a simple, delicious dessert! It is very rich and I think it would be best with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I cooked mine for about 12 minutes, and the inside was still very gooey. Also be careful if you're melting the chocolate in the microwave to stop and stir it halfway so that parts of it don't get burnt, dry, and chunky.
My favorite dessert of all time! I think it makes more than what it suggests. Yum! Yum! I even had my mom make these for my birthday last year. Wonderful!!!!
I just made these and they came out perfectly. I used Semi-sweet instead of Bittersweet chocolate and dusted muffin tins with cocoa powder instead of granulated sugar. They were absolutely wonderful!! I have a new favorite, easy-to-make dessert.
I made these for Valentine's Day any they turned out fantastic! I will use this recipe again.
I* made this exactly said... but it didnt go well... the mixture (part where we should add egg one each time..) the mixture is so runny...
I* wasted good ingredients.. special the chocolate! I* dont think i want to try this again.
I just made these last night and they were amazing! I served them slightly warm with peppermint and vanilla ice cream. Delicious - I wish the recipe made more.
can u have them cold
I'm sure a hand mixer is just fine.
do i have to use electric mixer can i use hand mixer instead.
