I tried different recipes of making molten lava cake but using my old microwave oven but failed...finally got a recipe using nutella & succeeded. But some where i felt this is not exact or perfect recipe for molten lava cake. So, thought will try it once i get m/w oven with convension mode. By the grace of God, i got it & tried some cake recipes too & they came out very well. SO, thought this time will try molten lava cake. Actually every time i was thinking before baking cake that i should first see a video about baking cake. (i am a big fan of SHOW ME THE CURRY.COM videos)So, searched in you tube for molten lava cake. & got one easy recipe & tried it. Actually in video the guy said preheat the oven for 232*C. But in my oven the option is maximum 200*C. So, i baked it for few more mins. I mean for 13 mins. Tasted great but the base doesn't baked perfectly. So, i couldn't take it out from the mould. Ate it in the mould itself. Ate it hot & must say tasted yummyyyyyy...still my mouth is watering by thinking about it. Second time baked it for 20 mins. Base was baked but molten lava cake became little dry. I wanted creamy texture inside. & one more thing...in original recipe choco chips are used. I searched for it but couldn't get it here. So, i used dark chocolate instead of choco chips. Will reduce baking time next time & let you know. Anyhow, my son liked it ver much. So, thought of posting it. & here is the result.
I adopted this recipe from CUP CAKE TINS ! A must try recipe for cake & chocolate lovers.
INGREDIENTS:-
Choco chips or Dark chocolate(chopped into bits) - 3/4 cup
white sugar powder - 3/4 cup
vanilla essence - 1tsp
egss - 4
all purpose flour - 1/2 cup
butter - 1/2 cup
What is double boiler ?
A double boiler is simply a pot of water with a bowl sitting on top. This allows gentle heat into bowl without scratching/burning.METHOD:-
1. In a double boiler, add butter & choco chips & melt it completely.
2. In a bowl, break all the eggs & beat it well till it becomes frothy.
3. Now add sugar pow & vanilla essence & beat well.
4. Now add all purpose flour & blend it well. Cake batter is ready now.
5, Preheat the oven to 450*F or 232*C. (i preheated it in 200*C for 10 mins.)
6. Greese the mould & dust it with cocoa powder.
7. Pour the batter into this & bake it for 8 mins.( i baked it for 20 mins at 200*C. But after seeing result, i thought should have baked it for 17 mins)
8. Unmould it & dust it with cocoa powder if you want.
9. Eat it hot & you will love it for sure.
Again tried baking chocolava cake...this time, preheated oven for 20 mins at 200*C & baked first batch for 14 mins at 180*C & baked 2nd batch for 13 mins at 200*C & further baked for 4 mins at 180*C. Below are the pictures...
