How to Make It — Step by Step
Melt Chocolate and Butter
Melt dark compound chocolate and unsalted butter together using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl whisk together maida, sugar, milk powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, GMS, CMS, and salt until well combined.
Combine Wet and Dry
Add the melted chocolate mixture and hot water to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until you get a smooth lump-free batter. Do not overmix.
Fill and Freeze Center
Pour batter into greased moulds filling halfway. Place a small frozen chocolate cube in the center then cover with more batter.
Bake and Serve
Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should be set but center should be soft. Invert immediately and serve warm.
Tips for the Best Result
Use a good quality dark compound chocolate for the best molten center. The higher the cocoa content, the richer and more indulgent your lava cake will taste.
The key to a perfect lava cake is pulling it out of the oven while the center is still slightly underdone. Overbaking will set the center and you will lose that gooey molten effect.
Generously butter and dust your molds with cocoa powder before pouring in the batter. This ensures the cakes release cleanly and hold their shape when inverted.
How to Store
