Black Forest Cherry Lava Cake


    Kitchen Project   German Recipes       German OnlineShop

This dessert is one of my favorites. It is so tender and moist like a souflee,
and undercooked a bit so the chocolate batter oozes out when cut.

The other flavor profile of a Black Forest Cherry Torte then is utilized,
to make this a great new way to present this classic!

Directions:

You can either use Morello Cherries

 

Specially Selected Dark Morello Pitted Sour Cherries,
Large 24 oz Jars, (2) Pack

 


or
use a Sour Cherry, or Fresh Cherries.
Here I will use Fresh Cherries

and show you
how to pit them easily.

This is a clever way to pit cherries. Put a small head nail on a board and push the cherry through it and it will push the pit out But keep the cherry intact.

SImmer the Water, Schnapps, Vanilla Bean or Vanilla Extract,and Sugar and bring to a simmer.
Pour it over the Cherries.

Cut the chocolate into chips and place in a bowl.

Cut the butter into chips and microwave for 30 seconds at a time till it is melted. Whip together to smooth.

 

Crack your eggs in a larger bowl gather the sugar and flour and your hand held mixer.

Mix the eggs and sugar until it is doubled in volume

Add the melted chocolate and butter mix very slow with mixer on low or fold in with a spatula. I add a bit of the vanilla cherry syrup to the mix as well.

Add the flour and blend in slowly, as to not deflate the mix. either the mixer on real slow

Pre heat oven to 400 degrees or air fryer


Spray with non stick spray or grease with butter or oil,
and fill the ramekins up with batter 3/4 the way full.
Bake for 6 min and check to see how done they are.

 


They will lose their shine, but be wobbley when you jiggle them.
If it is too loose then bake for another 2 min.
They will look like this, semi set.

Let cool for a couple minutes then remove with tongs and spatula or hot pad.

Run a knife around the edge to loosen it up.
Turn it over on a spatula or your serving plate.

Garnish with some of the Cherry Syrup, Whipped Cream and Cherries.


When you cut it open like I did here, the chocolate will ooze out like lava.
