Many recipes exist online for making chocolate lava cakes at home, but most require the use of ramekins or other small baking dishes. I&#8217;ve been running a baking blog for 3 years now, and I have so many useless kitchen gadgets and baking vessels collecting dust in my storage-free Brooklyn apartment, but the one purchase I can&#8217;t seem to justify is ramekins. So a while ago, I set out to create a recipe for mini chocolate lava cakes, but ones that home bakers can make in something almost everyone has: a standard 12-cup muffin tin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These mini chocolate lava cakes still have the desired molten, gooey center of chocolate, surrounded by a rich chocolate cake with a crisp exterior. Unlike many recipes online, though, the center is not unbaked cake batter. Instead, a heaping teaspoon of chilled chocolate ganache drops into the center of each tin, and that is what oozes out when you cut into the cake. Not only does this decrease the chances of eating totally raw cake batter (which, I&#8217;m not saying I don&#8217;t do on occasion) but it also adds a complexity to the cakes and another layer of texture and flavor with a slightly more rich, dark, chocolatey filling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"791\" height=\"1055\" src=\"https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-14-edited-3.webp\" alt=\"mini lava cakes ingredients like chocolate, sugar, butter, eggs and more on a white marble surface. \" class=\"wp-image-603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-14-edited-3.webp 791w, https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-14-edited-3-225x300.webp 225w, https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-14-edited-3-768x1024.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients for making mini chocolate lava cakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best parts about making molten chocolate cake is the short ingredient list, many of which you probably already have.

Heat heavy whipping cream in the microwave just until hot, then add the 2 ounces of finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate and cover. Let the chocolate begin to warm up and melt for about a minute, then uncover and mix the cream and chocolate together. Ta-da! That&#8217;s ganache. (If the chocolate doesn&#8217;t melt all the way, just run the mixture through the microwave for about 5 seconds and it should loosen up.) Cover and chill the ganache in the fridge (or freezer) until its solid and scoop-able.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-center is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-2 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-11-240x300.webp\" alt=\"melting chopped semisweet chocolate into hot butter \" class=\"wp-image-586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-11-240x300.webp 240w, https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-11-819x1024.webp 819w, https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-11-768x960.webp 768w, https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-11-jpg.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-10-240x300.webp\" alt=\"melting chopped semisweet chocolate into hot butter \" class=\"wp-image-585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-10-240x300.webp 240w, https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-10-819x1024.webp 819w, https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-10-768x960.webp 768w, https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-10-jpg.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make the batter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gently melt the butter and chocolate by either placing a heat-safe mixing bowl over a sauce pan of simmering water, or by melting them together in the microwave a few seconds at a time.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-4 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-3 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-7-819x1024.webp\" alt=\"mixing whipped eggs and sugar into chocolate and butter for molten chocolate lava cake batter\" class=\"wp-image-582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-7-819x1024.webp 819w, https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-7-240x300.webp 240w, https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-7-768x960.webp 768w, https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-7-jpg.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Gently fold the beaten sugar and eggs into the chocolate-butter mixture.

Using oven mitts or towels, grasp the muffin tin and half-sheet tray together, and carefully but quickly flip both at the same time so that the muffin faces down on the tray. (The cakes are pretty fragile at this point.) Give it a gentle tap and carefully lift off the muffin tin. Don&#8217;t try to serve the cakes with your hands. Use a spatula to transfer them to plates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-15-819x1024.webp\" alt=\"mini molten chocolate lava cakes dusted with powdered sugar with a fine mesh sieve of powdered sugar on the side\" class=\"wp-image-590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-15-819x1024.webp 819w, https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-15-240x300.webp 240w, https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-15-768x960.webp 768w, https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-15-jpg.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar or,  let&#8217;s be real, a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-17-819x1024.webp\" alt=\"a mini chocolate lava cake cut in half with molten chocolate ganache oozing out of its center, next to a scoop of vanilla ice cream on a dessert plate\" class=\"wp-image-592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-17-819x1024.webp 819w, https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-17-240x300.webp 240w, https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-17-768x960.webp 768w, https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/mini-chocolate-lava-cakes-17-jpg.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related recipes you might love&#8230;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/no-bake-mini-cheesecakes\/\">Mini No-Bake Cheesecakes<\/a>:<\/strong> Another mini version of a classic dessert, and also made in a standard, 12-cup muffin tin! <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/chewy-brownies\/\"><strong>Chewy Chocolate Brownies:<\/strong><\/a> A slightly less involved recipe for equal chocolate-cravings satisfaction. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/easygayoven.com\/best-ever-chocolate-chip-cookies\/\">Best-Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies:<\/a><\/strong> My most popular recipe for a reason!
