The molten lava caked came out just like the picture . Unfortnately there was no lava action after 1-2 min in the microwave. used 2 squares of dark chocolate.A good recipe to satisfy your chocolate craving
ReplyHi, that’s probably because your didn’t use cooking chocolate
ReplyWhat is the exact name of “Cooking chocolate”?
Looks great and I like the fact you can make just one at a time when you want one.
Thanks!Reply@ Nancy – In India we get different brands like Morde. You could get it in any bakery shops. It is also known as Modelling chocolate. Or just use some semi sweet choco chips

can u use syrup instead of the chocolate peice
ReplyHi Muskan. You cannot use chocolate syrup before baking coz it is already in liquid form & I’m not sure what would happen once microwaved. Only if you use a block of chocolate will it melt and you’ll get a gooey center

it is a lava cake in convection modeReply
Whats the proportion of Baking Powder. As mentioned by you what does 1/8 teaspoon exactly measure. Should I put 1 teaspoon of baking powder, is it? Kindly suggest. Coz the recipe looks yummy.
ReplyNot 1 tsp for 1 cup.. 1/8 tsp is hardly a pinch. You could check out the blog for step by step pictures of the recipe I’ve posted here.

is bourneville modelling chocolate
ReplyI’ve used it. It doesn’t melt a lot. But it still gives a nice chocolatey center. it is not however modelling chocolate
Reply
I tried it, it was really very tasty but the chocolate apparently did not melt at all. Instead of a choco lava cake I got choco centred cake. ( I too use morde chocolate) and I microwaved my cake for two and a half minutes. I followed your recipe dot to dot too . Help please.
Replytry just 1 minute. 2.5 minutes is too much

ReplyCan you use milkshake powder instead of cocoa powder?
ReplyHi Someone, :)
Sounds like a wonderful idea! YEa, give it a try!
Reply
This one sounds way better than one i tried. It didn’t have melted chocolate in the center
ReplyWell there is the easier alternative instead of using the huge chunk of baking chocolate. When you are done with the mixture, tap the bottom of the mug on the counter a few times then put it into the refrigerator for about 30 to 45 minutes or in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes. Because then you get the mixture to stand still, microwave immediately from removal of refrigerator or freezer and microwave it for barely a minute or more if needed. It may look like it is not fully cooked but it will be and just let it set for at least a minute. Your gooey center will be awaiting! I tried this and I have succeeded, I wouldn’t have posted this if it were not true.
ReplyThanks for the idea. I shall try it out :)

Turned ok but very spongy.
Do you have any idea of what I did wrong?Replymaybe too much baking soda and longer MW time.

Heya,
Had bookmarked this recipe since long…but hv no idea wat went wrong while executing it….Firstly as per d instruction my batter was in running consistency after the fourth tbsp….i still sum hw managed ……Secondly the bottom turned out to be vry rubbery …Actually dis happens every tym i bake in my microwave …..N thou the cake was well cooked d chocolate didn melt….. :-( pls help me out dr..Replyhi….. if i leave the lava cake over the night, can i reheat the next day?….will the lava get harden the next day?
ReplyIts actually just chocolate in the center. Refrigerating will harden the chocolate. Reheat for a minute and it should be okay.
But I prefer making the batter and chilling it rather than chilling the cake itself. It only takes about a minute to cook so I don’t like making the cake & storing it.
Reply
Don’t yu tink d batters turns up too thin on using 4tbsp of milk?
ReplyThat… I think is what gives that undercooked-gooey consistency. But you are free to use 3 tbsp milk too
ReplyDidmt work at all :(
Replycould you use nutella instead of a block chocolate?
Replyhi it just came out perfect…yum yum just loved it!!thanks for sharing such easy delicious recipe:):):)
ReplyCame out irresistibly delicious! :) , I added 3 tbs of heavy cream , and 1 of half & half for the milk plus a little extra powdered sugar and a drop more butter , and a tsp of vanilla and it was perfect , plus i didn’t have any baking chocolate so I substituted that by tacking a small hand full of semi-sweet chocolate chips and squeezing my hand so they stuck together and formed a lump . Thank you so much for a great basic recipe .
Replyi dont hv exact measuring spoons. n cn i only use baking powder. dnt hv soda. i wnt to mk it nw,it luks delicious.

Replywen i put my cup wid batter in microwave, it boils n falls inside the microwave. m using LG microwave at 50%. coz at 100% it burns.
Replyat what temperature we must bake this cake….???
ReplyThis cake is great! So easy, and quick! I didn’t have baking chocolate, but used choc chips and coconut, and it was great! Thanks for a great recipe. I am going to try a vanilla version for my hubby because he isn’t a choc. Fan.
ReplyI tried it but mine turned out really salty!! Though I used just a pinch of salt, baking soda and baking powder.
What went wrong??ReplyI tried it and it’s so yummy. What a very simple, yummy recipe.
One is never enough!! Thanks for sharing.ReplyFor people in thenew york area fairway has a large selection of baking/cooking chocolate.

ReplyHi. Could you give me an idea as toh how much should a huge chunk be? i mean can i use like a dairy milk or something?
ThanksReplyI had tried last saturday. Unfortunately, the cake is not fully cooked. Can you pls advise??
ReplyCan I make it in otg I dont have microwave. ..
Replyhi i just wanna know wil the cake taste well even if i dont use the cooking chocolate.. i dont need a choco lava cake. so can u help me out
ReplyDid not come out at all like the picture and it turned out as a big pile of melted mush.
ReplyHi,
I really love ur recipe, i have tried other recipes over internet dat includes egg/egg yolk but itmakes my cake a lil rubber like, but ur recipes was like perfect cake that’s soft n spongy but tge problem is my cake dont rise also i wanna ask can i increase the amount of batter wrt same ratio, kindly suggest me some tips.
Thanks:)ReplyI like that this is made without eggs, but I just wasn’t crazy about the finished product. I used good quality swiss chocolate squares and cooked it for 1 minute at 50% power in my microwave…and still it was fully cooked with no soft center. I added chocolate fudge and salted caramel sauce on top just to make it softer….if I make this again I’ll only bake for 30 seconds and leave out the salt. Even without the salted caramel it was unnecessary.
ReplyIs it possible to cook this in an oven? If so, on what temperature and for how long?
Replycan i use dairy milk chocolate??
ReplyNo, Dairy milk will not melt properly.. Best to use cooking chocolate slabs. .
Reply
i have freezed dairy milk chocolate overnight …now will it work???
ReplyNo. Please choose a chocolate that will melt in the microwave. If you want, you can try your diary milk. I have never found it to be a good “melter”

Hey the taste was great but I was not very happy with the texture. It wasn’t moist and soft. How can I make it soft?
ReplyOH MY GOD !!!!
I love your recipe
I had two failed attempts of making a cake and after seeing this recipe I was very tempted to make it and it turned out to be perfect !!!ReplyHey there, its a nice recipe. However when I tried the cake wasn’t as moist or glossy as it looks in the pic. Did I do something wrong???
ReplyTerrible recipe. It tastes very rubbery and looks nothing like the picture.
ReplyHii!! i love this recipe but can i use chocolate beans/bunties instead of cooking chocolate?
ReplyMine came out cooked all the way through, no molten chocolate in the middle. I cooked it for 1.5 minutes and used a chocolate piece for the middle. Any tips so that I don’t end up with a chewy chocolate cake that’s rather bitter instead of sweet?
ReplyThe batter is hella liquidy
Replyabsultie yummy
ReplyI’ve made this a couple times now. I love it! the only changes I make is that I only use 2-3 T. of milk and i use broken dark chocolate pieces.
ReplyHi I was wondering if I can reduce the amount of sugar? I really want to try this but almost every recipes uses equal amount of flour and sugar and I’m not sure why..Also, does molten lava cake mean that the inside is uncooked..? Please let me know and thank you!
ReplyThe chocolate doesn’t seem to melt. Is there any specific chocolate that i should use?
ReplyMy chocolate did not melt it kept hard what to do?
ReplyHi, what kind of milk are you using? Is it condensed milk or just regular milk? And at what temperature should I bake it in micro oven? And what kind of chocolate should I use? And thanks :)
Replywhat is a huge chunk of chocolate? how many grams?
ReplyThis was perfect. I was craving something sweet and found this blog post. Thank goodness! I swapped out the milk for soy milk and used vegan chocolate chips. I also used 3 tablespoons of bisquick I instead of the flour, salt and baking soda and powder. It turned out great!
ReplyIs it supposed to be like water at the part wher u add milk??????
ReplyDo we want to preheat the oven? If so,at what degree celsius we should preheat the oven?
ReplyIt’s fun and easy for the kids.Thanks!!! :)
ReplyI want to start eating lighter. Gradually, eliminate meat. What do you suggest? ( as well to loose weight, and keep it off.)
ReplyWorked OKAY. The recipe ws really dry, so I added 4 tbsp milk.
