Equipment
- cast iron drop biscuit pan
Ingredients
- ½ oz semisweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- 18.3 oz fudge brownie mix
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Melt chocolate and whipping cream in a small bowl in the microwave. Then refrigerate mixture until firm.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and place the cast iron pan in the oven to heat as well.
- Prepare Brownie mix as directed on the box. Spray the pan with cooking spray and pour batter into mini skillets or a Cast Iron Lodge Drop Biscuit pan while adding a teaspoon of chocolate mixture in each.
- Bake for 22 minutes and let cool for 10 minutes before serving with ice cream.
Notes
- Chill the chocolate filling before adding it to the batter to create a distinct molten center.
- Use a cast-iron lava cake pan or mini skillets for even baking and perfectly crisp edges.
- Spoon the batter evenly into each pan so all cakes bake consistently and have the ideal molten center.
- Watch the bake time carefully and remove the cakes while the center is still soft to ensure that gooey chocolate core.
