Hi Bold Bakers!
As the holidays approach and most of us find ourselves reaching for our traditional pumpkin pie and sticky toffee pudding recipes, I wanted to share one of my favorite ways to shake things up with my Pumpkin White Chocolate Lava Cake recipe.
From the flavor combination of silky white chocolate and hearty sweet pumpkin, to that magic texture you can only get from a molten lava cake, this dessert has it all. The magic is that this is way easier than it sounds!
What is a Pumpkin and White Chocolate Lava Cake
My Pumpkin and White Chocolate Molten Lava Cake has only 7 ingredients. It can be made in one bowl, with no special equipment, and makes the most adorable single serve dessert. Nothing will make your friends and family feel more special than their own little Pumpkin and White Chocolate Molten Lava Cake.
If you’ve never had a lava cake, it is the stuff of dreams. My Pumpkin White Chocolate Lava Cake features a warm pumpkin cake exterior with the gooiest white chocolate and pumpkin center. While everyone will be expecting that same old pumpkin and apple stuff, this lava cake has a flavor and texture like nothing you’ve ever had. This recipe is designed to impress!
What goes in the center of this cake lava?
My Pumpkin and White Chocolate Molten Lava Cake is really simple to make. All you do is melt together white chocolate and butter. This mixture is what keeps this cake so rich and helps to form that molten lava center.
Once you have prepared the White Chocolate Lava, it is a simple matter of combing egg yolks, a bit of flour, brown sugar, and of course, pumpkin puree. Something about the combination of brown sugar, Pumpkin and White Chocolate is absolutely magical.
What kind of pan do you need to make a lava cake?
After the batter comes together you spoon it into a cupcake tin. It’s a great way to make several single-serve desserts all at one time. No fussing around with ramekins, these bake up as perfect individual cakes using only a basic cupcake tin, and baked for a brief 12 minutes.
How to turn out a lava cake
As long as the tin is properly greased or lined you will have zero troubles getting the lava cakes out of the cupcake tin. Simply turn them out and serve on individual plates with vanilla ice cream. The batter bakes up perfectly around the outside and when cut in to the cakes reveal a molten pumpkin and white chocolate center.
