Hello my dear readers,
After all that we have discovered about chocolate this week here and here, I don’t know you but I would love a chocolate recipe 😉
Furthermore, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Why not surprise your Valentine with a super decadent softhearted chocolate cake or is called also lava cake or molten chocolate cake, but who cares the name? the taste is heavenly delicious!
I ate a few times this wonderful chocolate cake at the restaurant and I always wondered how do you make such a magnificent dessert 🧐
When I tried to make it at home I was surprised that it is a very easy dessert to make and very fast.
You will only need a few ingredients and the small ramekins or baking cups. I have at home different kind of ramekins, even heart shape ones 💖 but also muffin baking cups, so I use everything I have 😉 and you may do it too 😉 If you don’t have them you may also find them on my Popsicle Society shop.
The only secret is to do it at the moment and eat it as soon as it is taken out of the oven, so that the heart remains soft … try it … you will be surprised and your Valentine too 😉… I recommend it to all gourmands, like me 😉
Ingredients for 7 mini softhearted chocolate cake
- 100 g of dark chocolate chips
- 100 g of butter
- 2 eggs
- 80 g of sugar
- 40 g of flour
- 3 tablespoon of water
- a pinch of salt
How to do it:
Melt the chocolate with the butter and the water. I’m using chocolate chips but you may use the normal dark chocolate for baking.
Transfer the melted chocolate to a bowl and let it cool.
Grease and flour the mini ramekins or baking cups.
Once the melted chocolate is cooled then add eggs, sugar, the sifted flour and the pinch of salt and mix well.
Fill the baking cups by half with the mixture.
Bake for 10 minutes in the oven at 220 degrees. The high heat will cook the softhearted chocolate cake around the edges and tops, leaving the insides soft.
Since the ovens are all different, if you’re not sure if are done, you may take out one and simply try it.
Carefully flip the freshly baked and warm softhearted chocolate cake upside down onto plates, sift a little bit of icing sugar on top and serve.
You may serve it with ice cream, fresh fruits, or even more chocolate sauce 🍫
AND YES, IT’S THAT EASY!
Your Valentine will be really pleased 😁 💕 Enjoy it!
And if you don’t eat them all, don’t worry, once they cool down, they’ll maybe not have anymore the lava inside but will still remain amazingly moist!

I wanna try making it. 1 question though… For people who don’t eat egg, is there some other substitute for egg or can we skip it completely?😅
Thank you very much! Well the egg is the one that is keeping everything together but you may try to replace it with mashed banana, applesauce, regular yogurt, buttermilk…😉 Enjoy it! 😉😋

Don’t forget to name your cookies with your lovely bloggers name 😉 😛 Have a beautiful day 😀 🥳️💐
Hi Simon, yes, doing something in the kitchen always needs time! Luckily my recipes are pretty fast 😉 as I don’t have too much free time 🤪
For my valentine day I’ll be in the office but some pancakes still I can do 😉💕
Enjoy your day Simon! 🌸🎉🤩
Dayum girl – that looks excellent:)
Very appreciated! 😉💕
Always a pleasure – how is ‘shop?’ going, l was showing it to Suze last night and introducing her to the concept.
Thank you Rory! ‘Shop’ is in hibernation…it needs some attention and work…will need to decide soon if to continue or not with Shopify platform or not…I’ll need soon to upgrade my WordPress because I’m almost at the limit of space so…some decisions to make 🤪
So what have you found to be your biggest problem with the shop?
Biggest problem I guess is the platform itself…if I don’t do any work of promoting it, nobody can find it….so let’s say while on Amazon, people can search for products they want and may find your products even if you don’t promote them….but on Shopify, if you don’t promote it on other platforms nobody would know about your products….but since I’m dropshipping I’m not sure how other platforms are working….still need to do some serious research if I intend to continue….not sure for now….
Okay well that is interesting knowledge to have l feel sure the new series would be of interest to you too 🙂
😉 always eager to find something new 😉
Mini softhearted chocolate cake with 26% cholesterol. I’m not gonna eat it but looks very 😋
Sometimes we need to treat ourselves well 😉😋
I tried this several years ago and had a terrible time with getting all of it to be straight. I eventually made some shorter, some longer and used that layout.
Will have to try this! They look amazing! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you very much! If you like chocolate, I’m sure you’ll love them 😉😋
great post, I was searching this type of content and finally I got it. Thanks for sharing this useful information.
