Lately I have become an ardent fan of baking. And baking anything 'chocolate' is always welcome! The smallest of occasions is enough for me to pull out my mixing bowls, flour, chocolate chips etc n start experimenting. The problem is.... now I don't even wait for an occasion... at this rate I see another weight loss regime coming up in the very near future!! but lets not think about that now...
In a Microwave-safe bowl, put the chocolate chips and butter and microwave on high for about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Check every 30 seconds, and if it is done, don't over-heat it.
Coat two small ramekins generously with butter and set aside. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Then add the sugar and coffee to the molten chocolate chips and butter and whisk till combined. Add the egg to this mixture and whisk till you get a smooth texture. Now add the vanilla and flour and whisk again... Do not over mix it!
Now, divide this batter equally between the two ramekins, place them on a baking dish and bake for about 15-20 minutes. When they are done the top usually looks cracked. It really depends upon your oven how much time the cakes will take to bake, so you might want to make the first attempt an experiment to gauge how much long you need to bake them to get that perfect gooey center with a nice cakey crust!
Now after you get the cakes out of the oven, leave them in the ramekins for about two minutes to set, then loosen the sides with a knife and invert them into a bowl, add a big scoop of ice cream to the side n enjoy them piping hot!!!
Enjoy people!!!
Lets talk bout whats been cooking in my kitchen... I think everyone I know absolutely adores the Molten Lava Cake you get in Chili's.... we do too... the problem is its too huge to finish aaand we don't always want to eat out and going all the way there just for desert is just too much work!!! On one such day I just thought of trying it out myself... none of my baking experiments have ever gone horribly wrong so I thought the cake will at the least turn out edible!! Plus Av is always up for experiments and the poor guy eats anything I make. SO... I made the cake just enough for two that day and now we will never go to chili's just to have that cake again!
