The nights have been so cold lately, and I have a much greater desire to make hot cakes and desserts that are eaten straight from the oven and set the no-bake desserts aside. Any excuse to turn on the oven is welcome, even if it’s just to heat a piece of pastry or even plain muffins that will not be too cold. So, I made a hot chocolate cake.<\/p>\n

Hot and decadent chocolate cake is one of the desserts that most reminds me of childhood. It’s a bit “eighties” and maybe “old-fashioned”, but you know what? A warm chocolate cake with chocolate sauce is a treat that is simply hard to resist at any point. I like to make it in individual mugs, just as if it were hot chocolate, and with the glossy chocolate sauce it becomes the perfect dessert for cold nights.<\/p>\n

Do not confuse hot chocolate cake with souffl\u00e9 or lava cake – these are three different desserts. Hot chocolate cake is just as it is called – a chocolate cake that is simply served hot. Chocolate souffl\u00e9 – a cake-dessert that is especially airy chocolate in the texture of baked mousse. Chocolate lava cake – a hot chocolate cake with molten chocolate that is revealed only in the first bite.<\/p>\n

This chocolate cake is the easiest dessert to make out of the three and is an instant satisfaction; Prepare, bake, eat. Is there anything easier than that? You must try ♥<\/p>\n

        2. In a bowl whisk together eggs, sugar, oil, whipping cream, half and half and salt to a smooth mixture.<\/li>\n
        3. Add cocoa, flour and baking powder and whisk to a smooth mixture.<\/li>\n
        4. Pour the mixture into the greased mugs and sprinkle chocolate chips on top.<\/li>\n

          \n
            \n
          • The cakes are at their best on the day of baking.<\/li>\n
          • The cakes can be kept wrapped in the fridge for up to 5 days, but it is important to reheat before serving.<\/li>\n
          • The sauce is kept in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can freeze for up to a month. It is important to reheat before serving.<\/li>\n
          • Gluten-free version: Use gluten free flour mix in the same amount instead of all-purpose flour.<\/li>\n
          • Instead of dark chocolate chips, you can use the same amount of milk or white chocolate chips.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n
            \n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
