Preparation

Preparation1 hour

Cook time10 min

Chocolate cores:
Melt the milk chocolate with the cream and the butter. Mix well.
Pour the mixture into a silicone mold or an ice cube tray, and place in the freezer for at least 1 hour.
Cakes:
Combine the flour with the sugar, salt, and eggs. Add the melted butter and liquid cream. Mix well.
Divide the batter in half. Add about 1 tsp vanilla extract to one half. Add the cocoa powder to the other half and mix well.
In a greased muffin tin, pour in both batters at the same time, using piping bags or tablespoons. Tap the tin against the countertop to settle the batter.
Gently unmold the chocolate centers (if it's difficult, place the bottom of the ice cube tray in hot water for a few seconds). Place one in each cake, between the chocolate and vanilla batters.
Bake for 10 minutes at 390°F (200°C).
And there you have it—your chocolate and vanilla cakes with a chocolate center are ready!

FAQ ❓

How do you get a perfectly gooey chocolate center in these cakes?

To get a perfectly gooey chocolate center, be sure to freeze the centers for at least 1 hour and unmold them carefully so they don't break.

Can you replace the milk chocolate with another type of chocolate?

Yes, you can replace the milk chocolate with dark or white chocolate, according to your preference, but this may change the flavor and texture of the center.

What are some tips for baking these cakes successfully?

To bake them successfully, preheat your oven to 200°C and keep an eye on them, as ovens can vary. The cakes should be cooked on the outside but still slightly soft inside.

Can you prepare the batter in advance?
