Baking time is the key to success when making these molten lava cakes. First, a little practice is required. If this is your first time making this recipe you may not get perfect results. The reason for this is all in knowing the perfect baking time for your oven.
We all know that ovens vary, right? Well, this recipe is very time and temperature-sensitive, so you must know your own oven to be successful. For this reason, I suggest you test the recipe with your oven a few times before you make these lava cakes for guests or a special occasion. You'll enjoy eating all your practice sessions.
You'll also want to have a set of these four-ounce ramekins on hand to make these individual cakes. In my opinion, they are essential for this recipe and have many other handy dandy uses in the kitchen.

Instructions
To Prepare the Lava Cakes
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Butter two 4-ounce ramekins and lightly dust the inside of each with cocoa powder, tapping out excess.
- Heat butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl in your microwave for 15-30 second intervals, until the chocolate is almost completely melted.

- Cook for 7 - 10 minutes, until the sides are set and the center is soft.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-5 minutes. Immediately invert onto your serving dish. Garnish with ice cream or whipped cream.
To Prepare the Whipped Cream
- Pour whipping cream into a small bowl and whip using an electric mixer until frothy. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat until soft peaks.
- Serve whipped cream beside the warm cake and dust the cake with confectioner sugar, if desired. Fresh raspberries are nice, too.
