Baking the Perfect Molten Lava Cake with Claire Saffitz | Dessert Person
Indulge in the best-kept secret of the dessert world with Claire Saffitz's Molten Lava Cake! In this exciting KZread video, Claire unveils the truth behind this beloved treat found on menus everywhere. Discover the simplicity of this two-bowl dessert, just a half-step above brownies, that can be ready in under 45 minutes. But here's the twist: Claire's version includes a special ingredient-olive oil. This addition not only enhances the "molten" effect by making the batter more fluid but also creates a delightful flavor combination with chocolate. Don't forget to keep a watchful eye on the cakes while baking, as they can quickly overcook and lose their gooey centers. For the ultimate presentation, serve them immediately. Be sure to subscribe to Claire's channel and let us know what you'd like to see next. Get ready for a mouthwatering experience you won't want to miss!

    yesss, it annoys me to see all those holier-than-thou chefs who pretend like they are going to die from eating a piece of junk food. It's also what I liked about the OG Bon Appetite crew, they were happy to admit they love doritos, etc. We are all human.

Is there a concern about the uncooked batter center with the eggs and little bit of flour? if I made this for guests and they asked me about it I wouldn't be sure what to tell them. Thanks! :) This looks delicious!

    Your elevation may be different, too - my sister in CO and I can bake the same recipe and come out with totally different results because I'm at sea level.
