No lovey dovey love stories… no cute love poems.  Just a straight up awesome dessert to whip up in under 20 minutes for your loved one…No matter how cheesy we all think this holiday is, no on will ever turn down a molten lava cake that is perfectly cooked on the outside and oozing with chocolaty Nutella goodness on the inside.

By now, everyone should know my slight addiction to Nutella.  I try and stick its royal nutiness into anything and everything sweet,  I have done pretty well.

But this one.  This one just might take the cake (pun intended)

This dessert is one of my go to desserts that always wows any guests and literally takes minutes to whip up. No fuss no muss no mixer needed.  NO MIXER.  All ingredients are mixed super quickly in one bowl and then baked off in ramekins.

Hubs and I were in one of those chain fine steak restaurants not too longa go and we ordered their molten lava cake.  And the hubs very clearly and honestly said,” Babe yours is better.”

Mission accomplished.

The little molten lava cakes are baked just until they are cooked through. So when they are cut into for the first bite, the gooey chocolaty goodness rolls out of the center of the cake leaving a beautiful brown chocolate trail down the plate.

Start by preheating the oven to 475-degrees and butter up 6 ramekins.

Melt chocolate, Nutella and butter in the microwave, double boiler or very slowly on the stove so as to not burn the chocolate.

Add the flour and sugar mixture until smooth, combining with whisk, then add egg yolks.

Pour into the buttered ramekins place on a baking sheet and place right into the oven for 14 minutes.  Not a minute less or more.  I do have a convection oven so temperatures may run differently in each oven.  You may have to play around with it a bit.

Once they are ready, cut around the rim of the ramekin with a knife to ensure that it is loose.  Place a plate on top of the ramekin and invert the ramekin, allowing for the cake to flip onto the plate.

  1. Those look awesome! I literally cannot keep nutella around the house because I’ll eat an entire jar in less than a week! I might have to pick some up for this and practice self-control…..

  2. Oh my goodness! I didn’t think I would miss my oven very much but this has really made me miss me a lot more! I wonder if I can do this in the microwave… hmmm…. You had my husband at Nutella. I shall have to bookmark this and make it for him as a surprise. Love your blog, first time visiting but it is very lovely. 🙂 x

    1. Thank you!!! Thank you so much! I also have a Nutella mug cake on the blog… And THAT you can do in the oven 🙂 Just saying 🙂 Off to visit your blog doll!

    1. Hi jasmin! If you freeze and reheat… then it won’t ooze. What you can do is make it the night before and put them in the ramekins. Then the next day just cook them

  3. I just found this recipe tonight. I just made them and they were a hit thank you so much. They are delicious and easy to make. Yummo!!
