Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the lava cakes evenly.
  2. Combine Peanut Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, blend the creamy peanut butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and homogenous, creating a sweet, creamy base.
  3. Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time to the peanut butter mixture, mixing thoroughly after each addition to incorporate air and achieve a smooth batter.
  4. Mix in Vanilla, Flour, and Salt: Stir in the vanilla extract followed by the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the batter and ensuring a tender cake.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter to distribute them evenly without melting.
  6. Fill Ramekins: Grease individual ramekins lightly and pour the batter in, filling each about halfway to allow space for the molten center to form.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. The edges should be set while the center remains soft and gooey to achieve the lava effect.
  8. Serve Warm: Let the cakes cool for about a minute, then carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate. Serve immediately while warm for the best molten experience.

Notes

  • For best results, use creamy peanut butter for a smooth texture.
  • Do not overbake to maintain the molten center.
  • Ramekins must be greased thoroughly to prevent sticking when inverting.
  • Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
  • Chocolate chips can be substituted with chunks of your favorite chocolate for a richer lava center.
