Chocolate Molten Lava Mug Cakes Food

THE BEST CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Brush four 6-ounce ramekins with the melted butter and sprinkle lightly with sugar. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet.
• Combine the chocolate and butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 30 second intervals, stirring in between each with a rubber spatula until completely melted and smooth, about 1 1/2 minutes total. Add the vanilla, espresso powder and salt into the chocolate mixture and stir to combine.
• Add the eggs, egg yolks and 1/4 cup sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whisk on medium-high until fluffy and pale, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
• With the mixer on low, add the chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, mixing until just combined. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and gently fold in the flour using a rubber spatula.
• Divide the batter equally among the 4 prepared ramekins. Bake until the sides are firm but the centers are still soft, 12 to 14 minutes. (A cake tester inserted into the center of each cake should not come out clean.) Do not overbake.
• Let the cakes cool for 1 minute. Invert onto serving plates and serve warm.

CHOCOLATE MOLTEN LAVA CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees and grease 4 (6 ounce) ramekins, place on baking sheet. In a large microwavable bowl microwave butter and chocolate for 1 minute or until butter is melted, stir until chocolate is completely melted.
• Stir in powdered sugar until well blended. Whisk in eggs and egg yolks, then stir in flour. Divide batter between prepared ramekins. Bake for 13 to 14 minutes or until sides are firm but centers are soft. Let stand for 1 minute.
• Run a small knife around the cakes to loosen, invert cakes onto plates. Top with whipped cream and serve immediatley.

CHOCOLATE LAVA MUG CAKE

Steps:

• In a 10-ounce ramekin or microwave-safe mug, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt and stir together with a fork.
• Add in the melted butter, milk, egg and vanilla. Stir well to fully combine.
• Drop the chocolate chips in the center of the mug. Don't push them down.
• Drizzle the water on top of the batter.
• Microwave on full power for 65 seconds
• Cool for 5 minutes before eating.

5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE

Steps:

• In a microwave-safe 2-cup measure, stir together a heaping 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder. Add 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) milk, and a teaspoon of vanilla. Stir till smooth.
• Mix 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon cocoa, and 3 tablespoons hot or cold coffee. Pour into the cup.
• Gently swirl it in; don't mix thoroughly.
• Cook in the microwave for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, depending how powerful your microwave is. When done, it'll look set on top, and kind of mushy around the edges.
• Turn the cake onto a plate. It'll be layered with... well, let's call it sauce. It's actually semi-baked batter, but since there are no eggs in here, it's fine.

3-MINUTE MOLTEN DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE

Steps:

• Stir together the oil and sugar in a 12- or 14- ounce ceramic, microwave- safe mug, using a fork. Stir in the egg yolk and vanilla, and then the sour cream. Stir in the baking powder and salt, and then the flour and cocoa powder.
• Stir in the chocolate chips and microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave (in my microwave, 1 ½ minutes is just about golden). The cake is done when it rises above the edge of the mug (or close to it) and its top looks glossy and set, but not wet.
• Let cool briefly- it will collapse-sorry, but true. The center will be more molten-like than cake-like, very soft, and very hot-be careful! Enjoy ASAP with vanilla ice cream.

CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT LAVA MUG CAKE

Steps:

• Add all ingredients into a microwave safe mug. Stir with a fork vigorously until batter is smooth and there are no lumps.
• Microwave for 1 minute to 90 seconds. Cake will rise a little bit and top will look gooey in the center.
• Top with whipped cream and serve.
