sherilyn70 Posted November 7, 2011 #2 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I'm a little surprised someone makes a mix considering their really isn't much in a lava cake. It's eggs, chocolate, sugar and tiny bit of flour. Here's a recipe I saw recently that I want to try: Mexican Molten Chocolate Cakes (by Aaron Sanchez) Ingredients 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, plus more for greasing 5 ounces bittersweet (non-sweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped 1 tablespoon mescal 2 large eggs 2 large egg yolks 5 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon pomegranate molasses 1 1/2 teaspoons canela or Mexican cinnamon Large pinch salt 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1/2 cup chilled whipping cream Directions: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Generously butter four 3/4-cup souffle dishes or custard cups. Arrange on a baking sheet. Stir the chocolate and butter in heavy small saucepan over low heat until smooth. Remove from the heat; stir in the mescal. Cool 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs, yolks, 4 tablespoons sugar, molasses, 1 teaspoon canela powder and salt in medium bowl until very thick ribbons fall when beaters are lifted, about 6 minutes. Sift the flour over the batter; fold in the flour. Fold in the chocolate mixture. Divide the batter among the prepared dishes, filling completely. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover loosely; refrigerate. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before baking.) Bake the cakes until the tops are puffed and dry and a tester inserted into the center comes out with moist batter still attached, about 15 minutes. Cool the cakes 5 minutes. Beat the cream, the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon canela powder in small bowl until firm peaks form. Top the cakes with the whipped cream and serve warm.

bluewater723 Posted November 8, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted November 8, 2011 That recipe sounds great! I thought the mix would be nice because generally when I am stressed and need to pretend I am on vacation I don't really want to put much effort into desert. I'll have to try that recipe next time I have friends over and have some time to put forth the effort. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
