Why Make Chocolate Lava Cake with Brownie Mix?
Using a brownie mix as the base for your chocolate lava cake is super convenient. Not only does it save you time and effort, but it also guarantees a consistently delicious result. Brownie mixes are readily available at grocery stores and provide a reliable and foolproof way to get that perfect fudgy texture.
Ingredients:
- box of brownie mix - use your favorite simple, plain brownie mix brand. Avoid any with fudge or chocolate chips.
- unsalted butter, thinly sliced
- eggs
- egg yolks - save the egg whites
- chocolate chips - milk, semi-sweet or dark chocolate, whichever you prefer.
- vanilla ice cream, whipped cream powdered sugar, and/or fresh raspberries (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 12-cup muffin/cupcake pan with cooking spray.
- Place the chocolate chips and butter into a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals until melted and smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, add eggs and egg yolks and whisk together until foamy.
- Slowly add the brownie mix into the egg mixture and continue mixing.
- Add the melted chocolate chips and butter mixture to the batter and gently fold it in.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared muffin/cupcake pan, evenly distributing the batter.
- Bake cakes until edges are set but the center is still slightly giggly, about 10-12 minutes.
- Allow the lava cakes to cool for a few minutes. Then, using a knife, gently loosen the edges of each cake and invert them onto serving plates.
- Serve the chocolate lava cakes warm, either on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or dust with powdered sugar and add fresh raspberries.
Tips for Success:
Here are a few tips to ensure your chocolate lava cakes turn out perfectly:
- Do not overbake the cakes. The key to achieving a gooey center is to slightly underbake them.
- Use good quality chocolate chips for an extra delicious chocolate flavor.
- Feel free to get creative with your toppings. Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce or add ripe strawberries or blackberries for a touch of freshness.
