Preparation steps
1. Choosing the chocolate
Choosing the chocolate is one of the most important steps to make choco lava cake as chocolate is the core ingredient which will give the texture and the core flavors to this dish . So it is very important to choose good quality chocolate here. I suggest choosing dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate. Otherwise your lava cake will be super sweet which you don’t want. We want the classic taste of chocolate which can be obtained from only semi-sweet or dark chocolate.
2. Choosing the Cocoa powder
Next Main and core ingredient of this dish is cocoa powder so you have to choose cocoa powder which is good quality and also remember that the Cocoa powder is kindly powdered otherwise it will create issues when you are blending it with other ingredients. Cuckoo powder powder is the base ingredients of the outer mixture of the cake. So remember that you have to choose good quality Cocoa powder.
3. Melting the chocolate
For melting the chocolate, you have to place chocolate and butter on top of a double boiler over simmering water. It is a double boiling melting technique if you don’t know it, don’t worry, we will it in minutes, you have to first boil water on medium heat in a bowl then you have to take another bowl and you have to add the chocolate and the butter and you have to place it on top of the boiling water, you have to melt the chocolate and butter from the steam or the boiling heat of that water because chocolate can burn easily so we are using this technique to melt the chocolate properly without any difficulties or burning flavor.
When you are melting the chocolate remember that chocolate shouldn’t be stuck in the bowl for a long time, it will burn easily so you have to stir the chocolate continuously and also you have to scrape the chocolate on the corners of the bowl. Also do this process carefully as it is the one of the most important processes of making lava cake.
4. Making the base
Now take a large bowl then you have to add three eggs and sugar and beat it with electric mixture until it’s pale in color and it is thick also in texture. Remember that it will take 5 to 7 minutes, then you have to add chocolate, all purpose flour and cocoa powder powder and a pinch of salt and you have to combine it nicely.

6. Preparing the baking cups
Now we have to take the Ramekins or any cupcake molds, then you have to grease with melted butter and dust it with all purpose flour and make sure that you are tapping out the excess flour out of the molds then you have to pour a little batter in it then you have to add one or two chocolate pieces, then you have to cover it with a little batter. You have to do it really carefully. After that you have to tap it down so that the batter settles down.
7. Baking the lava cake
Now you have to bake the lava cake until the middle part of the lava cake becomes jiggly and it will take about 10 to 13 minutes. After that, you have to take it out from the oven and cool it down for 5 to 6 minutes.
