This is a simple but delicious recipe for molten lava cake! Such an elegant gourmet dessert with the perfect combination of hot chocolate fudge and cold vanilla ice cream. The cakes are yummy eaten both freshly carved and filled with hot fudge or reheated in the microwave the next day.
Ingredients:
Betty Crocker’s Super Moist Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix
Smucker’s Toppings Hot Fudge
Vanilla ice cream
Recipe:
1) Follow the directions on the back of the cake mix (usually need eggs, water, and oil). Pour the cake mix into muffin tin molds and bake according to the instructions on the box.
2) Let the cake cool after removing it from the oven. Using a knife, gently loosen the cakes from the tin onto a plate.
3) Turn the cake upside down and carefully cut out a cylinder in the middle, making sure not to pierce the bottom of the cake.
4) Heat up the jar of hot fudge in the microwave and spoon into the cake wells created.
5) If eating immediately, microwave the cakes for about 10-15 seconds and scoop the vanilla ice cream on top.
6) If you made too many to finish in one setting, put the cakes into the freezer and microwave about 45 seconds when you are ready to eat. =)
The tiny molten lava cakes were a huge hit both in the apartment and at work. Next time I’ll try making it with dark chocolate cake mix and magic shell on top of the ice cream. Enjoy!
I've been told that a certain smile breaks across my face whenever the subject of food is brought up, a smile that radiates the purest forms of delight and happiness. Food transcends beyond the smell and taste of what's presented in front of me; it's an experience to be enjoyed, indulged, shared with those I love. Working and living in NYC continually opens culinary doors, from hole-in-the-walls to upscale (even stuffy) dining. I never take any morsel of food for granted, and I'm often THAT girl at the table found licking her plate at the end of the meal.
