- 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 RUclips 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.

I love that Claire is so honest that she can go... It's not that bad. Like hers OF COURSE is better, but she still respects other recipes. No drama, just baking and that's what I love.
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.
I remember when I tried to make a soufflé and it fell. I renamed it to chocolate lava cake and people just bought my BS. 😅
Same here 😂
I had my oven too hot for a cheesecake once and so I said I had made a basque cheesecake to hide my fuck up 😅
HAHA these stories are hilarious
Instead of failing, redefine the problem statement.
Thats great! Something Julia Child would do!
Claire is honestly beautiful how soothing, easy going yet structured, calculated and delicious your baking is. I agree with the other comments above that mention how laid back you are while baking, no holier-than-thou attitude, just honest, heart felt baking. Thank you for all the evenings I fell asleep listening to you bake on this channel and your old bon appetite videos. As much as I miss your gourmet makes, I’d love to see you do at home versions of other things as well. 🥰 Keep on baking Claire
Honestly, the Dominos pizza version of this cake is actually delicious. The outside is crispy & delicious. The chocolate goo is sweet, chocolaty & so good. I love them haha
Definitely will try out yours, too though. It looks great :)
I love them! But I prefer them not hot and gooey. I stick them in the fridge. Then, I eat them like a cookie.
Oh, also, I don't like that they're crunchy. Sometimes, they're less crunchy and that's when they're the best.
I admit I really love them too
The Domino's chocolate lava crunch cakes are honestly surprisingly good. Dare I say it's the best dessert at any fast casual food place? (When they don't come broken that is.)
7:40 The editors having fun is fun for me, too. :)
Looks absolutely delicious!
They seriously got me for a sec 😅😅
Ummm Claire, a pizza series is a must!! My wife and I are literally drooling at the thought of it! 🤤🤤
I love that you're more relaxed. The animation is cute AF, and nice to see/hear the crew!
I literally just searched for a recipe to make this cake and here it is. Woah!
Serendipity! Now you def have to make these!! Good luck and have fun making them, theyre gonna be great!!
woah ohh oahhh
OOOOH! This must be the beginning of your Perfectenschlag!!
I love how accessible this is for me, someone who has to follow a Low Fodmap diet! So many desserts aren't very accessible both financially and ingredients wise!
Loved the ‘ludicrously capacious bowl’. Also, looking forward to see Claire’s pizza era.
I've been eating eggs from my grandma's farm my whole life and they are super vibrant in color due to the food chickens eat. Store bought eggs are produced by chickens from huge farms who eat concentrate and are in tight spaces which cannot compare to fresh grass and non-stressed life our chickens lead!
You always show great restraint. I would eat all 8 of those cakes in one sitting. They look irresistible.
This comment has made my day. I'm glad there's someone out there like me who has little to no restraint when it comes to dessert. I'd have eaten all 8 of those within the day, now I feel less guilty. Thank you 😅
Listening to Claire is therapeutic 😄
Me an avid dessert person watcher “Claire is not using the same fat to grease the pan as she is in the recipe 😮” and then she explained it lol
You are so nice about dominos, if i am camping and don't have a kitchen i know where to get a molten to go cake. BuT the best NEWS was Claire getting into pizza!! I started last year and it is addicting. It will be so much fun to watch and take your ideas to my pizza oven!!!
I really want to know if the Jean-George cake is molten due to it being “undercooked” or because it has a ganache centre that melts like in the film Chef. These kind of molten/self saucing cakes are REALLY popular in Australia!
His is the undercooked
Can we get a Verdict: MMM t-shirt/merch? Love this recipe and Claire!
the editing in these videos is always so fun lol
Omg so I just made this and it slapped y’all. I was scared it would taste heavy of eggs but it didn’t! I put a lil too much flour in the ramekins (but that was my bad) One of them fell apart when I flipped but the other was perfect and I was so proud.
Is it super sweet? I want to put a piece of 60% dark chocolate in the centre, will it be good?
you guys should make Claire watch that one scene from the Chef movie about lava cake
looks so yummy!!! might have to make a batch of these for an upcoming birthday! thanks claire!
Can Claire please do another book for “dessert for breakfast” where everything is breakfast appropriate sweet things 😁
I looked away for a second and then turned back to see a moose traveling across Claire's kitchen. I just about fell out of my chair. 😂
This was like an unintentional gourmet makes episode haha
These look so good. I love all your videos! I look forward to watching them on my lunch break every Thursday!
love love love watching these videos
OH my gosh Claire making lava cake, my dream come true. Best week ever!!
I look forward to trying Claire’s version of one of my favorite desserts. ps I strongly recommend topping lava cake with a scoop of coffee ice cream. Absolutely delicious 😋
I love the editing of the moose and the faces on the cooking equipment!
Love your work Claire
The verdict is always my favorite part
The editing just makes me smile! 🫎
I made this last night for a party and they came out PERFECTLY! Thank you so much! I might need to get your second cookbook, I already have the first!
I made them today : they cooked for 8 minutes in ramekins and I didn't have enough eggs so I used 3 egg yolks instead of 6.
They turned out perfect ! This is going to be my go to recipe for molten lava cake.
Used to work at Dominos.
I used to cut up the uncooked lava cakes and put them in icecream :P
once they are room temp the inside is gooy even if its not 'hot' The batter that becomes the cake is definitely different than the filling.
Claire + chocolate video = ideal
i absolutely love the Domino's chocolate lava cakes! but i cant wait to try out this recipe!
i really love the editing style of these videos 😊😊
Claire is the GREATEST of ALL TIME
I love this cake!!!
Me encanta ver la pasión que hace todo. Gracias
this cake is so prefect!
Claire, I'm curious to know from the point of view of a professional baker (I have just basic home experience) what you would say about this method vs the "frozen ganache" center method? 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!
Very curious too, seems like raw cake batter
It could reach a temperature where it is safe but not set I think. It would be interesting to see the internal temperature after baking
same question as well....
I'm always very weary of uncooked cake batter (at least in large quantities) so I always add a frozen piece of chocolate ganache in the centre. I actually do wonder what Claire thinks is better- taste and texture wise.
If you're concerned about salmonella you could use pasteurized eggs. The CDC estimates that 1 in 20,000 eggs has salmonella if that helps your risk calculation.
I just made this yesterday! (But with a different recipe) I wish I waited for this video to come out today
Just made my rendition of your dutch baby recipe! (using what was around)
Greek Dutch baby: Artichoke hearts sauteed with leek, kalamata olives, goat cheese, dill in the egg, pickled shallot, etc. wish i had some sundried tomatoes.
Been years since I made any kind of souflee, it was really reinvigorating
Claire could I use butter instead of olive oil? If so can you tell me the ratio of it?
Im curious about this too. Has anyone tried it?
I'd pair this with a glass of sparkling wine, especially on Valentine's day. 😋
Thanks so much Claire hope you have a great weekend ❤❤
Where can I get that boat oar of a spatula for myself, please!?
Thank the world Claire Saffitz is uploading again
Gourmet pastry chef attempts to make Dominos Lava cakes
Takes me back to the BA days 🥺
finalmente uma receita da claire que eu ja comi!! mande o petit gateau pra dentro!!
They are so cute and amazing Claire ❤
OMG! Looks absolutely define and like heaven ❤
Feels like my birthday whenever she uploads
Please do a cast iron pizza recipe! I'd love to see what you came up with for a Chicago style deep dish with a flaky crust, that or just normal dough.
She has a cast iron crispy cheesy pan pizza on her channel already. It's amazing!
oh my god i have been wanting a decent molten lava cake recipe for over a decade this was all the rage over here in brussels when i was in university
Uuuh I so need this today! ☺
Hi Claire how well would this batter freeze and defrost?
My birthday cake! I would be so curious to know if this could be created with a fruit, like a molten lemon or strawberry.
Claire is soooo gorgeous ❤
The Domino’s one is sooo good, I mean for a fast food pizza place it is haha
I made that for Valentine's day with a few strawberries on top 🎉
hey claire ! is there any way i can substitute the olive oil with melted unsweetened butter instead and what would the measurements be? will it still be similar or would it differ slightly?
I love you thanks for existing :)
Anyone have an idea what the recipe adjustment is when using muffin tins?
2:00 "Can you make it faster than the delivery can get it here?"
Ethan Chlebowski: "I sense a disturbance . . . "
Thank you for scraping your bowls! So many videos drive me nuts leaving one or more teaspoons behind when they combine ingredients 😭😂
12:40 The unveiling.... was just what we expected. "We had some - issues" ☺
love your content, it brings me so much happiness
Thank you, glad you enjoy it!
Love the new series! If I just listened to the audio, I might have thought that their tour guide was Jake Johnson 😂
the dominos one is actually quite good, especially cold the next morning! XD
I seem to remember freezing a set of molten cakes and my sister claimed to baked em later, idk if they were thawed or still frozen. Does anyone have experience doing so?
I thought this was a Bon appetit channel but saw the name and it’s your full name written. Well nice to see you back I’ve subscribed 😋😋
I made these but I used smaller molds so some cooked too much but others were perfectly runny would not recommend doing that but it was really tasty and light good recipe.
Claire, I have had trouble with a couple of Dessert Person cake recipes (coconut cake and chocolate cake) where the cake ends up with a sort of crumbly rather than spongey texture. The flavor is still good, but wondering where I might be going wrong.
are you using the right type of flour? it sounds like you might be using AP when you need to use cake flour, or something
Make sure you aren't overmixing the batter - sometimes that can be the cause of a weird, unappealing texture.
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.
@galanthae I triple checked the flour because I absolutely have messed up cake that way before. 😅
@@lisaa8795 I made sure to combine just until the last bit of flour is incorporated and then the last flour by hand. I dunno. Is it possible that I'm not mixing them enough?
I made this recipe and it tasted really nice! I used muffins silicone tray. I should have baked less than 6 min though…
I made these last night for a date. My ramekins were a little small, so I put them in my muffin tin. When I inverted it, most spilled on the counter and the floor. Luckily, two survived and were absolutely delicious.
Very helpful comment 🙏 I was thinking about trying them in a Muffin tin. Won't bother now
This is my kind of dessert. All it needs is some fresh fruit and ice cream. Love that Claire used oil instead of butter in the cake batter. Oil cakes have great flavor and stay moist longer.
I don’t have semi sweet chocolate on hand, can I substitute it normal baking chocolate? How much more sugar should I add?
Can I substitute the olive oil with palm oil or canola oil?
Domino's lava cake looks pretty darn good!☺️ Next time my son orders a pizza, I've gotta remember to ask him to order a lil cake for me!
They are delicious! Nice and decadent plus they come in a 2 pack.
@@BL-ur2sc Nice! Two cakes, because sharing is caring!☺️
If you have one big mold will it still work the same?
I think Carl Casper would disagree on this method. 😂 Love the videos. Yes, a future of pizza would be awesome.
*ludicrously capacious bowl*
where is she even cooking with that
Would Baker's Joy work as well as butter in this recipe?
Can you give more ideas on what to do with leftover egg whites besides macarons or meringue? So many recipes (not just from your books, but in general) use just the yolk.
Lemon curd is my go to! (Or creme brullee)
Langues de chat! They are delicious and super easy to make
Bravetart's angel food cake recipe is great. You could also make some tuile
Friands - the recipe I use takes 6 egg whites. I freeze the whites until I have 6 then make a batch. But I also make spiced mixed nuts quite often and a whisked eggwhite makes the flavourings stick to the nuts really well if you just have 1.
Swiss meringue buttercream! It's a little fussy, but I like it a lot better than American buttercream, which is often to sweet for me.
This is Gourmet Makes in reverse!
8:55 I adore when the blinky faces make an appearance!? :)
Wondering if almond flour to sub for the reg flour would be OK to make this a gluten-free recipe? Dig your recipe so much & when you busted out the 🍕delivery dessert to compare, I was stoked!! Grateful for RUclips, cookbooks & chefs like Claire who remind us of the joys of cooking/baking - the love it expresses in our zany world.❤
Almond flour is not a good choice for a one to one gluten free flour replacer. Use one of the gluten free flour mixers advertised as a one to one replacement for all purpose flour.
@@EverythingKate Many thanks!
Always on the lookout for these awesome recipes that just need a “minor” adjustment to make my friends w/dietary restrictions mighty happy.😋
Is there a difference between lava cake nad molten cake?
Can i add butter or cooking oil instead of olive oil??
Hi Claire, could you share with us what you feed your hens to get the golden egg yolks? You hear so many things but just curious if you had any wisdom. Also interested in knowing what breed of chicken you have as well.
I would like to bake a single "giant" lava cake for a birthday. I would make a dome shaped cake with the two quart pan I have. I noticed in the video that the recipe makes 4 cups of batter. I am wondering how it would work to multiply the recipe by 1.5 to get 6 cups of batter. Would this recipe work for a "giant" lava cake, or should the recipe be modified? Also, I would use safflower oil rather than olive oil because we prefer that oil for health reasons. There are recipes for "giant" lava cakes online, but I prefer Claire's recipe for two reasons: the flour is fully mixed in which appears to result in smooth chocolate lava and we like using oil rather than butter. I note that other "giant" lave cakes take about 50 to 60 minutes to cook.
I’m doing a baking event on Tuesday.. the theme is “gooey” and this cake looks to fit the bill!
Do you think I’d be able to transport the cakes by car or are they very delicate?
I love dominos lava cakes but i know Claires is better ❤️😂
Omg those look absolutely amazing 😍
claire is so cool.
would like to see her collab with matty matheson and see how that would work. lol
Hi! I'm looking into purchasing one of Claire's books because I love her recipes. Would you recommend Whats For Dessert or Dessert Person for a first time baker aiming to learn and impress their friends? I'm just curious about people's experiences.
Try What's For Dessert first!
@@CSaffitz thanks so much Claire!
Please do a combo vid with How To Drink!! Boozy desserts!
