I love making lava cakes as they are easy, you don’t have to wait for the cake to cool down and then do the frosting. And they even don’t require frosting, although, serving with ice cream is suggested. I used rose-shaped silicon molds to bake these goodies for my boy’s birthday, but ramekins are ideal for it. Tip for beginners The trick in molten lava cake is timing. So if you are making lava cake first time, bake one mold first, so you can judge the actual timing when it is ready. Even 1-2 minute matters. As over baking will not give you flowing lava and under baking will break your cake before turning. A little practice will help you master so bake 1 ramekin at a time for practice.
