The only thing we don't want is something with fruit in it! Several recipe's or links to recipe's would be most appreciated! Thanks.Cake Questions? Easy ten points to most recipes?
Chocolate Lava Cake Recipe with Oozing Chocolate





makes eight





Chocolate Lava Filling








3 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate; finely chopped


6 tablespoons whipping cream


1 tablespoon light corn syrup


1 teaspoon vanilla








Cakes








8 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate; finely chopped


1/4 cup hot coffee or water


1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla


3/4 cup all-purpose flour


1/8 teaspoon salt


1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened


1/2 cup sugar


3 large eggs, separated





Topping








Cocoa powder for the tops





Preparation Method for your Chocolate Lava Cake Recipe





For the filling, line a plastic ice cube tray with a large piece of plastic wrap. With your fingers, gently poke the plastic down into eight of the cubes so they are fully lined with plastic.





Melt the chocolate with the cream and corn syrup; whisk until smooth. Add the vanilla, set aside to cool until tepid. Fill the eight lined ice cube cups with the chocolate; freeze at least 4 hours, or cover and freeze up to a month.





For the cakes, place rack in center of oven and heat to 425掳. Generously butter eight 4-ounce souffle dishes or ramekins. Place them on a jelly roll pan, ready to fill with your chocolate lava cake recipe.





Melt the chocolate with the coffee. Set aside to cool for 15 minutes, stir in vanilla. Cream the butter with 1/3 cup sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 2 minutes. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stop the mixer and stir in the chocolate mixture. Fold in the flour and salt with a spatula.





Beat the egg whites with a clean mixer until they hold soft peaks. Add the remaining sugar, one tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition. Continue beating until thick and glossy. Thoroughly mix one quarter of the beaten egg whites into chocolate batter; gently fold in the rest.





Fill each prepared ramekin about halfway full with the chocolate batter. Gently bury a frozen chocolate cube in the center of each; add remaining batter, filling cups almost to the top. Bake until cakes are puffy and set, 18 to 20 minutes. Gently loosen from the sides of the dishes and invert onto serving plates. Sift cocoa over top.





Serve your chocolate lava cake recipe plain, or with ice cream, custard sauce or raspberry sauce.Cake Questions? Easy ten points to most recipes?
This recipe came off the side of a Hershey's Cocoa box. It is so easy and delicious. I have made it 5 or 6 times and I always serve it with vanilla ice cream. Its really cool how you put it in with the dry ingredients on bottom and pour water on the top and then it comes out with cake on top and fudge sauce on bottom.
