The Trick to Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes - Kitchen Conundrums with Thomas Joseph 

4 ounces of chocolate 1 stick of butter 2 egg yolks 2 whole eggs 1/4 cup of sugar 2 tsp all purpose flour, plus a bit for dusting the ramekins Oven preheated to 450 Fahrenheit, 7-8 minutes

the way he talk makes me fell important and this makes me happy

I know it's going on a year now, but with chocolate cakes I always dust my bakeware with cocoa powder. It works just as well and there's no chance of flour spoiling the look of the chocolate cake.

The trick with the tongs is so handy!! :D

FINALLY THE PERFECT RECIPE!!!! I have tried so many lava cake recipes before but THIS one wins the prize. just made it and it turned out A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. the texture of outer cake was soft and spongy and the lava was gooey and deliciously chocolaty. love it and gonna make it again and again and again!!!

Chocolate molten lava cake ingredients: -4 ounces semisweet chocolate -1 stick butter -2 eggs yolks and 2 whole eggs -1/4 cup granulated sugar -2 tbs flour directions: melt you butter and chocolate in a double boiler. mix your eggs and sugar in a stand mixer until thick and light butter your ramekins and flour them and make sure to remove any excess flour for better results when chocolate and butter is already mixed pour it slowly unto your egg and sugar mixture when all incorporated add you flour and make sure to scrape every after mixing pour your mixture unto your ramekins and bake at 450 degrees for 7-8 minutes (dont bake for too long to have that very chocolatey center)

Thank you, Thomas! God bless. I appreciate your time.

I don't even like baking or eating dessert, but I love playing these videos for Thomas's soothing way of explaining things and voice. I like that you don't overact and make loud noises to get our attention. Good job!

I tried it and it was amaaaaaaaaaazing :D You can also add cocoa powder to make it look darker and vanilla for the eggs. I could not find ramekins so I used foil cups and they totally worked too.

That is a pretty desert and I'm sure full of flavor.

Clear, good explanation of possible pitfalls.

Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe. I love how you explain every step and give measurements of the ingredients as you go. I halved this recipe to see if I'd figure out a way to screw this up, like i do other recipes, but these turned out perfectly. I was so happy. Now if i can perfect my buttercream. Thanks again!

I've fallen in love with a new foodie! 💗_______💗

Perfectly baked, Thomas! Thank you for sharing your recipe and, also, for educating us. I'll be in NYC this fall and will visit your restaurant there. Cheers!

Thomas is the best! He explains everything perfectly. Even if you know your ways around the kitchen... some tips are always new.

Thank you very much for this wonderful recipe! I followed all your instructions and it turned out just the same as you described! I have never achieved such success in cooking from the first try! Thanks a lot! Highly recommended!

I wish this video also gives notes for people who use metric system...

For this i changed the ingredients a bit (by accident) and it still came out great: 3 medium eggs 100g sugar 2 and half tbspoon of flour 100g of dark chcolate 100g of butter and i didnt have any ramekins so I just filled cupcake cases up and it worked fine!

Thank you Thomas Joseph! I baked this molten lava cake for my mom's birthday. She loved it! We all loved it! Thanks a lot!

I don't normally comment on RU-vid videos but yours are always so well-developed and educational in content. Nice job, keep these kitchen conundrum coming, please!

Pls make a video about mirror glazed cakes! Thank you! :)

when you're flouring the ramekins, you should use half flour half cocoa powder(not hot chocolate powder btw). it gives a darker, richer colour when you turn them out.

Brilliant,thank you ,mate.I've been struggling to make those for a while now ,but in the end it ended up magnificently thanks to your guidance !

I've been looking for molten cakes all day to make for grand daughters birthday, I wanted to make it and wait before cooking, but not one video I viewed said if it was possible. I found you at the last minute, and you answered my question. Thanks, the video was very easy to follow.

Wow!

Molten Chocolate Cake Martha Stewart Link to Video Ingredients 4 ounces of Semi sweet chocolate (54%cocoa) 1 stick of butter(½ inch cubes) 2 egg yolks(RoomTemp) 2 whole eggs(Room Temp) 1/4 cup of sugar 2 tsp all purpose flour, plus a bit for dusting the ramekins Preparation Oven preheated to 450 Fahrenheit, 7-8 minutes Cut chocolate with serrated knife Cut butter 1/stick into half inch cubes Add chocolate to double broiler and then add butter Melt together stirring occasionally until nicely blended. Once melted turn off the heat. You Do not want the chocolate to get too hot remove from heat once melted wiping the bottom of the bowl to remove any excess moisture. In a separate bowl beat together Eggs(2 Yolks and 2 Whole Eggs) and Sugar Whip them up on Medium speed. 4 Oz Ramekins brushed with softened butter. Dust with flour. Then discard excess flour and give ramekin a good tap upside down to remove any excess flour (Tip I used Cocoa Powder instead of flour it works Wonderfully and tastes better than flour. ) Once Egg mixture has almost Tripled in Volume Then Reduce the speed Slightly then slowly pour the Melted Chocolate into Egg Mixture while it still beats in the Mixer. Then Scrape side of bowl to evenly incorporate mixture and add 2 Teaspoons of All Purpose Flour. And Gently Stir together until incorporated. Put about 3 Oz of mixture into the 4 Dusted Ramekins Cook for about 7-8 min longer they cook less molten they will be. (Tip can be refrigerated while in liquid form before cooking just bring them up to room temp before cooking them) To Serve Remove from oven. Then using a pair of tongs covered in a paper towel secured to the tong with a pair of rubber bands, place a plate on top of the Ramekin and flip the cake out. The tongs help with the gripping of the ramekin.

My question about the origin of this recipe, I really want to know Is it the real recipe or , the other one when you have to insert a frozen piece of chocolate ganache inside the cake ?

It was sooo good thank you so much for the recipe

Thank You so much for this recipe!🤗

i was just searching some cake to do and i find these its beautiful and simple thanks

Great video Thomas. Loved it

7 to 8 minutes... I heard 78 minutes 😂

I've heard these molten cakes should be eaten soon after baking. It can not be made in advance, is this true?

This is yum! I'd love to make on on Valentine's day!

Thank you!!!My family loved it !!!

What about a domino's lava cake? Somehow those lava cakes are kinda crunchy and crispy with a really fudgy inside.

can you show us how to make popcorn on the stove without burning it. Please n Thank you :)

Once again! Great teaching!!!

I have made this twice so far. Depending on how big ur ramekin is changes how much time u should leave it in the oven. I use a smaller ramekin (the clear glass one) and leaving it in for 8 min was perfect. Also I added a piece of Hershey’s milk chocolate in the center and it became even better. 10/10 recommend. Very easy recipe. Will be testing more things to put in the center. I’m thinking next to put either caramel or white chocolate.

isnt it just uncooked in the middle?

He looks like lea michele :p

This looks awesome and easy!!

first time trying. made a great batch! thanks a lot :)

How many times does this guy say chocolate before 1:30 ?!?

I want egg less molten lava cake... pls pls pls....

I tried this awsome recipe. kids loved it

Thank you, best explained , short and easy : ))

how much is a stick of butter?

In the words of Chef Carl Casper "Chocolate lava cake is not just undercooked chocolate cake. That's not what makes the center molten. You take a frozen cylinder of ganache, and set it the ramekin... so as the outside cooks fully, the inside becomes molten!"

totally great! Thanks for sharing ~

Dude it was amazing!

How many grams of chocolate do i need here?

What if I'm an asshole and I use salted butter, is it gonna explode?

Turns out perfect thanks a million

Looks so good!

Just ome thing i hate about cooking show. When the host not fully use the ingredient or batter. Scoup out using spatula, what a waste

Looks good inspire me to try on it .!

Handsome chef...your explanation awesome 👍yummy chaco lava cake 🤩
