How to bake the perfect lava cake with a liquid core
Petit Gateau, chocolate mishap or lava cake – many names, one dessert. The lava cake with a liquid core originally comes from France, but is now becoming increasingly popular here too. Anyone who has ever tried these delicacies will definitely know the problem - if the lava cake is baked too short, the dough is too liquid and we can't get it out of the mold. If baked for too long, the “lava” does not flow and the cake is not liquid enough. Since every oven is different, “try over study” applies here. Since the finished lava cake is very hot, it can quickly break when removed from the mold. It is therefore recommended to use a coated muffin tin and to grease it properly or spray it with baking spray. And here's a little insider tip - for the perfect lava cake with a liquid core, chill the dough for about 2 hours and bake the cakes for about 10-11 minutes. This means it stays nice and juicy, but not mushy, and the core is wonderfully viscous.
