Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus 1 tablespoon, melted
1/4 cup sugar, plus more for coating the ramekins
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs, plus 2 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Brush four 6-ounce ramekins with the melted butter and sprinkle lightly with sugar. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet.
  • Combine the chocolate and butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 30 second intervals, stirring in between each with a rubber spatula until completely melted and smooth, about 1 1/2 minutes total. Add the vanilla, espresso powder and salt into the chocolate mixture and stir to combine.
  • Add the eggs, egg yolks and 1/4 cup sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whisk on medium-high until fluffy and pale, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
  • With the mixer on low, add the chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, mixing until just combined. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and gently fold in the flour using a rubber spatula.
  • Divide the batter equally among the 4 prepared ramekins. Bake until the sides are firm but the centers are still soft, 12 to 14 minutes. (A cake tester inserted into the center of each cake should not come out clean.) Do not overbake.
  • Let the cakes cool for 1 minute. Invert onto serving plates and serve warm.

Time 25m

Yield 4 little lava cakes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 tablespoon semisweet mini chocolate chips
1 teaspoon fat-free liquid creamer (like Coffee-mate Fat Free Original)
1/2 teaspoon light butter, whipped kind (or light buttery spread like Brummel & Brown)
1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate pudding (about 1/2 of one)
1 tablespoon semisweet mini chocolate chips
1 (1/4 ounce) packet fat-free sugar-free hot cocoa mix, 25-calorie packet
1/4 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
1 cup chocolate cake mix (1/4 of an 18.25-oz. box)
1/4 cup liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
1/2 teaspoon Splenda granular
2 dashes salt

Steps:

  • Place the chocolate chips for the filling in a glass and set aside.
  • Pour the creamer in a microwave-safe bowl with the butter, and heat in the microwave for about 15 seconds, until butter has melted and mixture is very hot. Pour the mixture over the chocolate chips and stir until they have dissolved. Allow to cool for several minutes.
  • Add the pudding to the mixture and stir well.
  • Spoon the chocolate mixture into four evenly spaced mounds on a plate.
  • Place in the freezer for 25 minutes. (Don't over-freeze -- the mounds could stick to the plate.)
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place chocolate chips for the cake in a tall glass along with the contents of the cocoa packet. Add 1/4 cup boiling water and stir until chips and cocoa have dissolved. Add 1/2 cup cold water and stir well. Pour the contents of the glass into a mixing bowl.
  • Add all of the remaining ingredients for the cake (cake mix, egg substitute, Splenda and salt) to the mixing bowl and whip batter with a whisk or fork for 2 minutes.
  • Once the chocolate mounds in the freezer are a little firm, spray four baking ramekins (each about 4 inches in diameter) with nonstick spray. Evenly spoon the cake batter (which will be a little thin, but don't worry!) into the ramekins.
  • Remove chocolate mounds from the freezer, and place one in the center of each batter-filled ramekin. Put the ramekins in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Cakes will look shiny when done.
  • Carefully remove each ramekin from the oven. You can eat the cake right out of the ramekin (while the center is still gooey!), but make sure to let it cool a little bit, because the ramekin will be hot. Or you can wait until it has cooled completely and plate the cake by running a knife along the edges and flipping it upside down. (Then just pop it in the microwave for about 15 seconds to heat it back up.) Enjoy!
