Choco Lava Cake a.k.a Chocolate Foundant

Weekend is cooking day for me.. So last Saturday I decided to make a choco lava cake. So I searched the internet, and found this recipe. The owner of the blog said this is Gordon Ramsay's Recipe, so if my cake turned out bad, blame it at Gordon.. haha..

Here area the steps :

First, melt the butter and chocolate ini a hot pan on top of a sauce pan filled with boiling water. Stir the chocolate and butter until all is melted and combined. Be careful not to let the chocolate mix boil. Set aside, and let it cool.







   Whisk the eggs with an electric mixer in  high speed til pale and stiff, pour in chocolate mixture, and mix it well using a spatula. Add the flour a little by little, and keep folding the mixture with the spatula until the mixture is combined through.

This is how it will look..

Prepare the ramekins (i don't have any ramekins, so I use cupcake pans) by spreading each with butter and dusting it with cocoa powder.









Pour in the chocolate mixture, about 3/4 of the height.










   Put in a preheated oven about 180 C, for about 10-12 minutes (depends on the oven, my oven took about 25 minutes). 


You'll know if it's ready if you poke the side of the cake with a small stick and none of the mixture sticks.
 Last but not least, garnish your cake with whipped cream or ice cream and fruits as you like..
Tada! Chocolate Lava Cake is ready to eat.. Nyum Nyum!!
