Butterscotch Lava Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• To make the cake batter, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
• In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract. Once incorporated, mix in the milk. Gradually add the flour until the batter becomes thick and dough-like.
• To make the filling, use a hand mixer to beat the butter and cream cheese in a separate large bowl. Once fluffy, gradually add the powdered sugar. Mix in the vanilla extract and cream and beat until mixture is smooth and thick.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Grease a 6-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray. Take a golf ball-size portion of cake dough and line the base and sides of a cup. Repeat with the remaining cups.
• Fill each cake bowl with ¼ cup (30 g) of filling.
• Take another golf ball-size portion of cake dough, roll it in a ball, and flatten with your fingers to create a 2-inch (5-cm) circle. Place the circle over the top of the filling, and press down the edges to make sure it seals to the other dough. Repeat with the remaining cakes.
• Bake for 20 minutes until light, golden brown.
• Remove from the oven, invert onto a cutting board.
• Serve immediately topped with sifted powdered sugar and raspberries.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Grease 2 8" round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
• Icing (do this first as it will need time to cool): Dissolve the sugar in the water in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, do not stir When the sugar seems dissolved, turn the heat up to medium-high and bring to a boil Boil until it turns a nice dark golden brown color, remove from heat and add the cream It will get lumpy!
• Don't worry, whisk as much of the lumps out as you can and then return to medium heat and whisk out the remaining lumps When it is smooth, remove from heat until it is cooled, I just set the whole thing in the refrigerator until I need it again.
• Cake: Cream the butter and sugars with an electric mixer.
• Add the eggs one at a time until combined.
• Add the cake flour and the baking soda and mix until combined.
• Add the cream 1 Tbls at a time until combined.
• Divide the batter between the 2 prepared cakepans and smooth the tops.
• Bake for 25 minutes or until the cake starts pulling away from the sides and a cake tester comes out clean Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack, then remove from the pans and cool completely Assembly: Take the cream cheese and beat until smooth and fluffy, add 1 cup of the caramel mixture and beat until combined Place 1 cake layer on a plate, using a spatula, spread half of the icing mixture on top of the first layer Place the 2nd layer on top and top with the remaining icing.
• Take the remaining caramel mixture and drizzle it over the top of the cake, letting it run down the sides.

Steps:

• Make the cookie butter: In a food processor, combine the speculoos cookies and brown sugar and pulse until finely ground. With the processor running, slowly pour in the heavy cream and process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. You should have about 1 cup.
• Make the lava cakes: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place a rack on the lower third of the oven.
• In a large bowl, whip the egg yolks and eggs with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 5 minutes, or until pale and fluffy. Add the sugar, vanilla and cookie butter and mix until just combined. Sift in the flour and mix again until incorporated and the batter is smooth.
• Grease 4 6-ounce ramekins with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle with a bit of flour. Tilt the ramekins to coat evenly, then tap out any excess flour. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and evenly divide the batter between the ramekins.
• Bake the lava cakes for 14-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center still jiggles slightly.
• Transfer the ramekins to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes, then invert onto serving plates. Top each cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, and a sprinkle of crushed speculoos cookies. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
