How to make Chocolate Lava Cake Recipe MasterChef?

• Baking Time: 40 minutes
• Servings: 6-8 Serving

Ingredients for Chocolate Lava Cake Recipe MasterChef

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 2/3 cup cornstarch, sifted (If you do not have this ingredient, you can use Stevia instead.)
• 1 tbsp meringue powder or grated gelatin powder dissolved in 1 tbsp water. (Stevia can be used instead. )
• 1/2 cup butter, softened

Preparation:

Step 1.

Chocolate Lava Cake Recipe MasterChef is a cake cooked by baking it in an oven. It has a molten chocolate center which is soft and gooey. The melting point of cocoa butter is between 88°C to 90°C (190°F). So if you bake it at a temperature above 90°C or below 88°C, the chocolate lava cake will be complicated or too soft.

Step 2.

As usual, the oven’s temperature must be set at 175°C (350 °F). Bake until a toothpick inserted in Chocolate Lava Cake Recipe MasterChef comes out clean.

Step 3.

Let the cake cool down to room temperature. Then use an electric mixer to beat whipping cream and egg in a bowl until the mixture is smooth.

Step 4.

Mix all-purpose flour and cornstarch in a bowl with a whisk attachment.

Step 5.

Add butter and mix well until it gets a crumbly texture.

Step 6.

Mix the egg mixture into the flour mixture until it has been incorporated, about 10 minutes, with the mixer of your choice. Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

Step 7.

Preheat oven to 350°C (175°F) and grease a baking pan well with butter.

Step 8.

Pour the batter into the baking dish and bake until it is golden brown, about 40 minutes.

Step 9.

Let the cake cool down completely, then refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving it. (If you want to make Panna Cotta Recipe with Fresh Fruit and Green Tea, please continue to the next step.)

Step 10.

Pour the cold Panna Cotta mixture into the mold, and freeze it in your favorite freezer.

Step 11.

To get a smooth and silky surface, use a warm spatula to scrape the frozen Panna Cotta. (If you have silicone molds, it is easier to do this.)

Last but not least, Chocolate Lava Cake Recipe MasterChef has been served in a small ramequin or mold. You can also put it on a plate if you want to present it.

FAQ

Can I make this recipe with wheat flour?

I don’t recommend you to, as it will taste different than other chocolate lava cake recipes. Also, it might be too crumbly and too dry when you use wheat flour. I think it will be better to use all-purpose flour in this recipe so that the cake’s texture is soft and moist, as expected.

Is this recipe easy to make?

This Chocolate Lava Cake Recipe MasterChef is not difficult to make. But you have to be careful when you bake this cake. The chocolate lava cake must be baked at an accurate temperature so that it always turns out soft and luscious.

Also, the batter of this cake is thick, and you have to mix it for about 10 minutes until all ingredients are well-incorporated. So I think this recipe will take longer than other chocolate lava cakes.

Will this recipe be as good as the cake at the bakery?

This recipe will give you a great chocolate lava cake that tastes even better than the one you bought at a bakery. Suppose you follow the instructions and tips of this recipe. In that case, I believe you will find it quite easy to make a delicious cake.

What is the difference between molten lava cake and lava cake?

Molten lava cake is made from a batter that is poured between two metal plates that have been heated until the batter rises, expanding to fill the space in between the plates. Lava cake is also placed in an oven where it gets heated by a hot plate, but unlike molten lava cake, lava cake gets its shape from whipped cream or fruit filling placed on top of it.

Lava cakes and molten lava cakes are both types of chocolate lava cakes.
