How to Make Lava Cakes in the Air Fryer
Optional Favorite Toppings: A dusting of confectioners’ sugar, colored or chocolate sprinkles, chocolate cream, vanilla ice cream, fresh berries with chocolate shavings, peppermint candies or chocolate sauce. Cooking Tips: Use silicone baking cups if you do not have oven-safe ramekins. Do not use an electric beater or electric mixer, this will take the air out of the batter so the molten lava cakes will not be airy and have a liquid chocolate center. Substitutions: Use a butter knife or a flat spatula that you use for icing a cake if you do not want to use a sharp knife. I make this recipe in my Cosori 5.8 qt. air fryer. Depending on your air fryer, size and wattages, cook time may need to be adjusted a couple of minutes.
What can I serve with this decadent chocolate cake?
Strawberries, raspberries and blackberries will all add a bright freshness to this dessert. Chocolate ganache, drizzle of chocolate syrup or caramel sauce are going to make the cake extra gooey. You can never go wrong with chopped nuts and a huge dollop of whipped cream.
Can I use a different chocolate?
Yes, just keep the amounts the same and better-quality chocolate will create the best molten chocolate center. Semisweet chocolate chips, dark chocolate and bittersweet chocolate will all make this a delicious and simple dessert. Spicy chocolate, white chocolate, dark chocolate chips and peanut butter chocolate will make these chocolate lava cakes simply divine.
How to store leftover lava cake?
Remove the lava cakes from the ramekins or silicone molds and allow them to completely cool prior to storing them. Place them in an airtight container for up to 4 days in your refrigerator. Place them in a freezer safe covered storage container for up to 3 months in your freezer.
What size ramekin should I use?
For this recipe I would use either the four, six or eight-ounce ramekins. The quantities in this recipe are perfect for two 6-ounce, however you could make three 4-ounce ramekins or double the batter and make three 8-ounce ones as well. Just remember that the batter needs to fill the ramekins ¾ up and cooking times will vary depending on less or more batter inside of the ramekins. We Would Love to Hear From YOU!
