A very addictive ooey gooey molten lava, an irresistible dessert created using basic ingredients you have at home! Chocolate Hazelnut Lava Cake 
I hope you guys have a chance to check out my Nutella-filled Chocolate Bailey’s Cookies that I shared last week, but if you’re not a fan of cookies, I have another option for you. My love for lava cake started when I went on Carnival Cruise years ago and those wonderful memories came back last Summer when we went on another cruising trip with Carnival. It was a 7-day cruise and guess what I ordered every night for dessert… Their famous chocolate lava cake!
To date, I still love and crave for their chocolate lava cake – to a point where I had to recreate those memories at home. So, cheers to Chocolate Hazelnut Lava Cake for this week’s Sunday Supper.
I am still in Atlanta for the PMA Fresh Summit Convention and super excited to share all the fun things I learned from this convention. I got a chance to see some of my favorite brands and learned about their perspectives on fresh, organic, and sustainable harvest. And so much more! So be sure to follow me on Instagram or Twitter.
And knowing that this post goes live today, I suddenly crave for another bite or two or perhaps finish the whole thing by myself. In fact, I have saved some for myself in the fridge, to be enjoyed as a welcome-home-present for me when I get back tomorrow. Yes, it’s freezer-friendly and you don’t need to wait for it to reach the room temperature for eating. Simply bake the cake a bit longer in the oven, like 5 minutes longer, and this chocolate hazelnut lava cake will be ready for you! How fun is that, eh?
Chocolate Hazelnut Lava Cake #SundaySupper
Ingredients
- 6 oz 170gr (70% cocoa) dark chocolate
- 6 tbs unsalted sweet butter
- 3 eggs room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 tbs hazelnut liquor
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Meanwhile, place the chocolate and butter in a saucepan over LOW HEAT and stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Generously butter four 125 ml (1/2 cup) capacity ramekins and set aside.
- Whisk the eggs and sugar in a bowl until well combined and forms ribbons, about 6 minutes.
- Add the chocolate mixture and hazelnut liquor. Whisk again at low speed.
- Add the flour and fold until well combined.
- Spoon the mixture into the ramekins until it fills just below the top line.
- Place moulds/containers on a baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes (depending on the power of your oven) OR until the cake springs back when you touch the surface with your finger. Unmould immediately onto serving plates and eat straight away in order to get the “lava effect”. You can also serve this lava cake with vanilla ice cream. Yum!

I love how the lava cakes seem so unassuming. . .’til you break them up. . .and add ice cream ~ fabulous!
I”ve never made a lava cake, who knew they were this easy to make? I would totally need them to be single serving because holy yum! Those look delish! Pinning!
You really can’t go wrong with hot, gooey chocolate desserts! 🙂
They look so good! I can imagine that lovely hint of hazelnut .. Yummy!
Impressive and delicious, what a great dessert!!
A little bit of booze just makes desserts sing. This looks like such a decadent indulgence.
LOVE the addition of hazelnut liquor!
Whenever I see lava cake I am reminded of the scene in Chef where he goes off about what a Lava cake actually is. Looks like you nailed it.
I usually make lava cakes for Christmas or Christmas Eve. Since there is only hazelnut liqueur involved and no nuts (hubby wouldn’t like!), I think I found this year’s recipe. Your lava cakes look divine, Linda!!
I love that you added Hazelnut Liquor to the chocolate! How amazing!
Oh wow! Love that center and the addition of the hazelnut liquor.
Looks gooey and luscious! I need to make this soon!
This is my favorite dessert, EVER! And I love that you incorporated hazelnuts <3 <3 <3
Its like warm, gooey Nutella – LOVE it
