You will absolutely love simply prepared chocolate lava cake with a molten center that makes for the perfect dessert. Your guests or significant other will be blown away at how rich and decadent this is.
The lava cake was invented by Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten at his restaurant in New York. There is some dispute as to the original founder, but Chef Jean-Georges has been serving it on his menu for decades.
A lava cake is essentially a sponge cake that isn’t fully cooked and has a runny center. Not to worry, the eggs are mixed with very hot chocolate tempering and cooking them. This is actually a dish that I learned how to make at Cardwell’s in St. Louis over 20 years ago and this is that recipe.

Try cocoa powder instead of flour to dust those ramekins. No white flour residue. Yum!

Chef it would be much appreciated if you could write down the ingridients in grams/ml, because we in europe get lost with ounces and spoons :) you used to also write C degrees, but i don't mind converting fahrennheit into C degrees

Excellent video, excellent recipe!! I made this for my son's birthday. He and his boys LOVED it, and I was impressed with how really easy it was by following your video. Your directions were spot on, and I'm about to make them again for my father's birthday. Thank you, this is a big hit and I now have another classic that's starting to get a lot of requests from my family! You make me look amazing.

Thanks for the recipe and all the tricks that should be helpful. While converting everything to grams I realized that 1 stick + 2 tbsp of butter can't be 10 oz because 1 stick is 4 oz (113g) + 2 tbsp (1/4 of a stick = cca 30g) All in all, I understand that I don't need more than 150g (10 oz is 280g). I hope that I got it right!

@ItchyCinderBlock Жыл бұрын

His written recipe says 10 Tablespoons, so I think he misspoke, since a stick is 8 Tbsp + 2 Tbsp = 10 Tbsp

I’m making this recipe and I’ve run into an issue. A stick and two tablespoons of butter doesn’t equal 10 oz. 10oz would be two and a half sticks of butter. Am I wrong here? Not sure which measurement to use

Just found my answer. He corrected in another comment and said 10 tablespoons for all who run into this problem. 👍

Why not dust the ramekin with powdered sugar rather than flour?

@SakariSakuranbo Жыл бұрын

It would caramelize and stick at the bottom and make a mess getting it out later. Flour allows to cake to come out loose and clean.

I made over 10,000 of these in a 2 year period where I worked. Very similar except I used 10x in the batter instead of granulated sugar. In the movie he used a hershey's kiss and claimed the way we make it is just underdone.

No disrespect, but since you started by referencing Jon Favereau in Chef, have to point out this is specifically how he says NOT to make lava cake. According to Favreau, the proper way in to make a ganache with chocolate, butter and cream, freeze it, and put a truffle size portian in each ramaken with the batter so the ganache melts and the batter cooks. He shows how to do it on The Chef Show

@Stella.Starlight 2 жыл бұрын

Billy! Whenever I need to dust over a buttered pan when making anything chocoate (i.e. a batch of brownies), I don't dust with flour, I use chocolate powder so that the finished product does not have white, dry flour to contend with. * grins *

Sorry bro, but there’s an error in your recipe. The written recipe states 10 oz of butter and in your video you state 10 oz of butter but you also state it’s “one stick plus two tablespoons”, which I’m sorry, but in the US, that’s 5 oz. One stick is a quarter pound or 4 oz and two tablespoons is an ounce. Please clarify (that’s a chef joke, cuz we’re talking about butter.)

American measurements are so fucked up 😵. Stick tablespoon cup ounce and many more. They are so confusing that even you have mixed up something. Should I use 10 oz of butter or 10 tbs. Other than that your double lava cake look great and I'll give it a shot with 10 tbs butter. Wish me luck and convert to grams USA 😂 clearly and precision

Believe it or not, I've never had a lava cake, ever. There's something about the ooze and the overdose of super sweet gooey chocolate that just turns me off. Yup, I'm weird lol. I mean, it looks nice!
