Molten Lava Cakes
These beautiful little cakes are indulgent yet portion controlled. To save time at the last minute, the batter can be prepared ahead of time, poured into ramekins, and refrigerated until baking time. Take the ramekins out of the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes prior to baking. In the very unlikely event you have leftovers, a few seconds in the microwave will restore the volcanic center.
Gluten Free Molten Lava Cakes
Servings: 8 people
Calories: 460kcal
Ingredients
- Gluten-free nonstick cooking spray
- 1¼ cups semisweet chocolate chips or dairy-free chocolate chips
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter or dairy-free buttery sticks
- ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons strong coffee or coffee flavored liqueur optional
Instructions
- Whipped cream, ice cream, berries, mint sprigs, or more powdered sugar for garnish, optional
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray 8(4-ounce) ramekins or large muffin cups with cooking spray.
- Place the chocolate chips and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 3 minutes or until all the butter has liquefied and most of the chocolate is melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Stir until smooth and glossy. Let cool slightly.
- Stir in the flour and powdered sugar. Add the eggs, egg yolks, vanilla, and coffee or coffee liqueur, if using, and whisk until smooth. Divide the batter among the prepared ramekins or muffin cups.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still jiggly (almost runny but not quite).
- Remove the cakes from the oven, let cool for 1 minute, then run a knife around the edges of the ramekins or muffin cups to loosen the cakes. To unmold, invert the ramekins onto individual serving plates. If using a muffin pan, invert the pan on a large, flat surface (like a cutting board) and then gently lift the cakes with a thin, flexible spatula and plate on individual serving plates. Serve immediately with whipped cream, ice cream, berries, mint, or a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
