Chocolate Molten Lava Cake - in the Microwave!

Warning: the dessert you are about to create and consume is extremely chocolatey. It will kill your chocolate craving really fast. That aside, enjoy the most awesome 5-minute chocolate molten lava cake you've ever tried!

Step 1 Gather the ingredients

The secret here is using melted dark chocolate. Cocoa powder doesn't hold a candle to it, and using bar chocolate negates the need for adding milk or oil while producing a really moist cake.

- 2 oz. dark chocolate bar (60% cocoa)
- 2 oz. butter
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 3 tbsp. flour
- 1 egg
- 1 chocolate truffle (Lindt truffles work great)

The chocolate truffle creates the warm oozy chocolate center of your cake.  Be sure to freeze it ahead of time and it will melt just perfectly once the cake is finished cooking.

instead of a microwave, im just using an ordinary oven in what temperature would i set it and how many minutes to cook?

[sbarker2]

Instead of the truffle I added a couple of blocks of dark chocolate, omnmomnm...

It's best to melt the chocolate on a lower temperate for short bursts, stirring in-between times.
If you heat the chocolate too long or too high, you'll cause it to split.
Nothing worse then a big bowl of oil and cocoa solids!

wow hey could i use regular choclate

[tinker234]

do i need the truffle

[fhidiort]

No you don't need it; it will just have a cake rather than oozy center.

[tinker234]

ok ill get a truffle

[jackerboy]

does the dark chocolate add the taste of dark chocolate or is it just for cooking porporses because i dont like dark chocolate

[fhidiort]

It doesn't taste like *dark* chocolate, rather it just tastes more chocolatey. You can use the same amount of milk chocolate but will taste somewhat bland imo.

I need me some chocolate after seeing this mouth-watering cake. And I don't even have to wait that long. : )

Yes, once you've got the recipe down it's literally 5 minutes from pulling stuff out of the cupboard to chow down
