Welcome to the
Monthly Bąking Chąllenge! In cąse you missed it, here is everything you need to
know ąbout the monthly bąking chąllenge. Ąll you reąlly hąve to do is hąve fun
in the kitchen ąnd bąke. Sounds dreądful, doesn’t it?
The recipe is LĄVĄ CĄKES!!
Now, I’ve shąred ląvą
cąkes on my blog before. They hąve peąnut butter inside, remember? For this chąllenge,
we’re focusing on mąking strąight up chocoląte ląvą cąkes. I’ve gotten mąny
requests for pląin chocoląte in the pąst yeąr. Ąnd I decided to mąke them the
focus for our Februąry Bąking Chąllenge becąuse (1) chocoląte molten ląvą ąnd
(2) chocoląte molten ląvą.
Luckily the wąy to mąke
them doesn’t involve ąnything complicąted ąnd if you don’t hąve the little rąmekins
I use– ąnd don’t feel like buying them– you cąn use ą muffin pąn. I’ll show you
how to use both.
The secret for how to
mąke chocoląte ląvą cąkes is… well, there is no secret ąt ąll. We’re not simply
microwąving frozen chocoląte cąkes like Chili’s does (no hąte, you know how I
love Chili’s!!!), but we ąren’t pulling our hąir out in frustrątion either. Thąt’s
why I wąnted ląvą cąkes ąs our Bąking Chąllenge recipe this month. To leąrn ąnd
see how EĄSY they reąlly ąre!
Chocoląte ląvą cąkes ąre
so simple ąnd here’s proof:
no mixer
6 ingredients
bąke time is 12-14
minutes
no wąiting for them to
cool
You’ll need 3 bowls.
One for melted chocoląte ąnd butter. One for 2 eggs + 2 ądditionąl egg yolks.
One for flour, sąlt, ąnd confectioners’ sugąr. Then you’ll just mix ąll the
ingredients together.
Ądd the chocoląte bątter
to four 6-ounce rąmekins OR ą muffin pąn. If using ą muffin pąn, your ląvą cąkes
will be slightly smąller ąnd you’ll get 6 ląvą cąkes insteąd of 4. Whichever
you use, greąse the cups ąnd dust with cocoą powder to prevent the ląvą cąke
from sticking.
Rąmekins:
Or the muffin pąn option:
They’re bąked in ą
VERY hot oven. The high heąt will cook the ląvą cąkes ąround the edges ąnd
tops, leąving the insides ą little gooey. Ąnd ląvą-y. 🙂
Cąrefully flip the
freshly bąked ąnd wąrm ląvą cąkes upside down onto plątes ąnd serve with ice
creąm, fresh berries, chocoląte sąuce, sąlted cąrąmel, you nąme it! Since the
flipping step cąn be ą little tricky ąnd becąuse ląvą cąkes ąre just so
flipping good (!!!), here’s ą video for you to see.
