Recipes FAQ

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, let the batter come to room temperature before dividing among the ramekins and baking.

Can I use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet?

Yes, you can use milk chocolate if you prefer a sweeter chocolate flavor. Just keep in mind that the lava center may not be as pronounced as it would be with semi-sweet chocolate.

Can I freeze these?

Yes, you can freeze these cakes for up to a month. Let them come to room temperature before reheating in the oven for 5-7 minutes.

Recipe Tips

  • To ensure a lava center, make sure not to overbake the cakes. The edges should be set but the center should still be jiggly.
  • Make sure to grease and flour the ramekins well to prevent the cakes from sticking.
  • If you don't have powdered sugar, you can make your own by blending granulated sugar in a blender or food processor until it becomes powdery.
  • Serve these cakes with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent dessert.
