Chef Chong's Chocolate Lava Cake Special

I searched for this recipe, but somehow my brain told me not to follow exactly what written. I changed some of the ingredients especially the portion. My friend, Miss Fain, loves chocolate for dessert. I knew, this Lava Cake of mine will make her happy, including my partner, Gregg. All of us have to workout more to burn the calories we put in.

Recipe:-

2 cups Semi sweet Chocolate chips (any brands you want)
1 1/2 stick melted butter (salted or unsalted)
1/2 cup AP flour
1 cup Sugar
3 large eggs
3 egg yolks
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
2 Tablespoon Triple Sac Orange
a pinch of salt

Method:-

1. Melt the semi sweet chocolate chips and butter together in a silver bowl or a pot, do the double-boiled method (cook on top of a pot of boiling water, not direct from the fire). Keep stiring.
2. Once melted, then add flour and sugar, stir again until mixing well. Pull aside, let it cool down a little.
3. Add the eggs and egg yolks together one at a time, then vanilla, salt and triple sac, stir well.
4. Oven must be 400 F, scoop the lava mixed into ramiken of your choice (preferably cup size). Bake for 10-13 min until the side of it pull aside from the ramiken. The center still a little jiggly.
5. Pull out once ready, flip it on to a dessert plate and then sprinkle with powder sugar.
6. Caramel sauce: 1 cup sugar, melted in a sauce pan medium high. Once starting to brown, lower the heat, add 1/2 cup heavy cream and pinch of salt. Stir well until really mixed and creamy. Dont over cooked it.

i was just looking at this recipe this morning and it calls for the batter to be kept in the fridge before baking and the temp. is high - 475f

Hi Lily. I can say it is all depends on the condition of the oven itself. 400 F is safe temperature, not to burn the side of the lava cake. Also, about the chilling the batter first, I did for 10-15 minutes because I was doing something else before scooping them into the ramikens. So, I would say, you can chill or not to chill and the taste would be the same. Always check on them after 8 min baking in the oven.
By the way, I looked into your blog, the desserts, they are so good. Am going to try the Kuih Lapis with rice flour. :)

My daughters had lava cakes from Dominoes Pizza and they loved it. I'll try out your recipe. As with anything, it's better to make fresh than from restaurants.
