Raspberry Lemon Molten Lava Cake
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 ounces of dark chocolate
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 6 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest
- 1/2 cup of fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and 4 ounces of dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Stir in 1 cup of powdered sugar until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 2 eggs, 2 egg yolks, and 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest. Gradually add the chocolate mixture and stir until smooth. Fold in 6 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place 2-3 fresh raspberries in the center of each ramekin, gently pressing them into the batter.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft. Let the cakes cool for 1 minute.
- Carefully run a knife around the edges of the ramekins to loosen the cakes. Invert each ramekin onto a plate, and let stand for 10 seconds. Gently lift the ramekin to unmold the cake onto the plate.
- Serve immediately, garnished with additional raspberries and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy the warm, molten raspberry lemon lava cake!
The Raspberry Molten Lava Cake with a hint of lemon zest is a decadent dessert that combines the rich, gooey texture of a traditional molten lava cake with the bright, tangy flavor of fresh raspberries and zesty lemon. This indulgent treat has its origins in the fusion of classic French baking techniques with the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean. Renowned chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Ina Garten have popularized this dessert, infusing it with their own unique twists. The best version of this dish can be found in upscale patisseries and fine dining restaurants, where expert pastry chefs skillfully balance the sweetness of the raspberries with the citrusy brightness of lemon zest. To achieve the perfect Raspberry Molten Lava Cake, it's crucial to use high-quality raspberries and freshly grated lemon zest for a burst of flavor in every bite. For a unique twist, some chefs also incorporate a splash of limoncello or lemon liqueur into the cake batter for an extra layer of complexity.
