People mistakenly think that the liquid chocolate inside the cake is lava. It’s not. It’s magma. The chocolate after it oozes *out* of the cake is lava.
You don't have to be a geologist to make this cake, but it helps. If you're also identifying rocks at the same time. Otherwise it shouldn't make a big difference.
Thank you for clarifying. Lava cake purists would say you DO need to be a geologist in order to make this cake and I think that's rather igneous of them.
did not work for me, i poured the lava on the boiler, but is just melted the boiler, oven and ground beneath it, and i think it's headed for the earth's core as we speak, what do i do now?
I went to a sizzling platter restaurant a few years ago and they served these for dessert. I never had molten lava cake before that so you can imagine how I felt when I bit into it and burnt my tongue with the molten chocolate.
I was following along fine until the end then my Mrs got angry at me for spreading chocolate all over the kitchen.... I tried to explain that was part of the recipe but she just took my tiny cakes and made me clean it up. 😞

This is by far one of my favorite channels. The humor and skills represented are so genuine. My dad was a cook and he enjoyed these videos so much when he was alive. And these videos are my safe space when I’m feeling down. I hope this channel continues to thrive for years to come.
you dont need the bowl to actually float on the water when you do a double boiler, it can just rest on the sides of the pot and the water under will be hot enough to melt the stuff, it's more stable that way
Not just do you not need to have the water that high, you really shouldn’t. It’s best if the heat only transfers into the bowl through the steam; otherwise it can get quite a bit hotter than the gentle heat intended from a double boiler.
@@Zavendea No. The point of using water/steam to transfer heat is that it cannot get any hotter than its boiling point at your local atmospheric pressure (higher elevation = lower boiling point) unless it's in a completely sealed vessel. The reason for having a lower water level is that it can (usually does) gurgle out between the pan and bowl as the water boils. A lower water level is less messy. That's all.
This channel has to be my favorite one ever. Not only the jokes are always undeniably funny, but also the level of his cooking is getting better and better. Along all the gags the techniques, terminology and the final effects look like he cares more and more about the cooking itself, which makes me even happier than before.
@Like Cthulu but wears a tophat and has no tentacles and isn't cthulu I've never tried this "undercooked cake" version but I'm leaning that way too. I've never been one to enjoy dough and we're talking about undercooked egg here. Egg doesn't have a huge chance of contamination but it's bad when it happens.
After seeing many clips of Jon Favreau's Chef, there's no way I'd forget: "It's not raw, it's MOLTEN!" According to said movie, they put a piece of frozen ganache inside.
God this channel is just the light in my life, regarding all of the trash that’s on the internet right now - This is the gem 💎 and the string the kitten is holding onto, folks - it keeps me going. Thank you so much for your content all these years, truly. We need it now more than ever
Made this yesterday, here's my observations: - I overcooked it so it became a normal cake instead of a lava cake - Seriously, do not leave it for more than 10 minutes - The non lava cake tastes very mid while warm - The next morning it tasted amazing tho, super fluffy - Definitely use dark chocolate, the taste is divine
Hi YSAC, you're one of my favorite UA-camrs. I love how you manage to be both a trolling cook and musician mashed into one channel. Thank you for what you do!
as a wise carl casper once said “Chocolate lava cake is not just undercooked chocolate cake. That's not what makes the center molten. You take a frozen cylinder of ganache and set it in the ramekin so that as the outside cooks fully, the inside becomes molten!”
I think it’s funny how sometimes I truly to cook alongside him and end up realizing I made some eggs to eat instead of moving forward with the recipe. The snack is appreciated tho
I was so excited for this tutorial but as soon as you said it wasn't made with real lava I was just genuinely upset. I hope in the future you remake this video and include actual lava.
Dude, I love your videos, you probably heard it a thousand times before, to contermeasure this mild dissapointment here is something you surely didn't know: If P is any point inside an equilateral triangle, the sum of its distances from three sides is equal to the length of an altitude of the triangle. Think about it, dude.
thank you, deeply! this has been my favorite dessert since I was a few years old, pair it with some vanilla ice cream, raspberries and walnuts and it's the best thing to have graced earth!
Ysac is the best cooking content creator out there for 2 reasons 1.He makes his cooking videos entertaining unlike the cooking videos we normally see 2. Because he has a small arg going on with a character named pimblokto (though I'm not sure if it's going to keep going or not)

That’s fair
Bro wtf happened to your kitchen 💀
Dude purposely jacked up his kitchen just for a 4 second outro clip, mad respect
Well prepare to lose respect as this is the result of the ending volcano gag mechanism failing. Nothing was intentionally placed.
@@yousuckatcooking most of it, sure, but definitely not whats on the cabinet door. You will never convince anyone that was not done intentionally.
@@yousuckatcooking did you try to make it spurt out chocolate?
@@yousuckatcooking I guess I'm going to have to get my own dogs. This is FBS.
@@yousuckatcooking Monetizing your fuck-ups is different kind of respect.
Pro tip-- you can substitute real lava for the chocolate. Save it for a special occasion though; you can only eat it once
Underrated
Spicy!

If you can't get some from a volcano, store bought will be fine.

@@pimblokto6222 me neither. I'm unable to perform the imaginative act.
How is that even possible? Did you pick it up like a cookie and take a bite like a psycho?
@@mattcelder Well not really bite, more like ate it with a spoon without checking how hot it was.
@@mattcelder I've done that before 💀

She took the cakes and left you to clean up alone? That is an act of war. Godspeed soldier.
@@chillaxTF Guess he lost... RIP :(
I didn't tell mine about the mess, and she gave me *her* little cake. YMMV.
😔
props to the volcano for making that much of a mess. other volcanoes can't really make that much of a mess in a kitchen.
Under-performing volcanos. Pfft. Geothermal vents these days; no ambition, no work ethic.

You take a frozen cylinder of ganache and set it in the ramekin so that as the outside cooks fully, the inside becomes molten!
It's molten!

Watched the movie for the first time two weeks ago. So good
I remember this exact line when he said ramekin
YOU’RE NOT GETTING TO ME!
ITS FUCKING MOLTEN

0:07 this is the funniest graphic I have ever seen in my live. I’m sobbing
He clearly learned alternate facts. :)
I appreciate that you made a goddamn mess of your kitchen just for our entertainment.
Definitely going to make these later, they look delicious!
Stop putting it off. Make it now!
Don’t wrestle anyone while you’re making it! Oh and don’t forget your hang mixer!
Not even 10 seconds in and I'm already crying from the volcano joke, gosh darn it.
0:27 That's because a small bowl with horizontal sides is called a plate.
Pro Tip: dont tell the viewer you aren't using actual lava in the first second into the video, ruins the suspense
......
It legit ruined my entire experience as I thought he would use magma. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
Can't believe Chocolate is Volcano all along.
Why does the kitchen looks like there's a murder? 😂😂
Shhh. Don't remind him of the egg episodes....
殺人なしでは料理はありません
Thats probably what happens if your string setup isnt perfect.
how else would he get chocolate? you'll need to crack a few eggs to make an omelete
That hang mixer was almost brilliant. And then it created the volcanic eruption
you dont need the bowl to actually float on the water when you do a double boiler, it can just rest on the sides of the pot and the water under will be hot enough to melt the stuff, it's more stable that way
@@pimblokto6222 I lava you.
Not just do you not need to have the water that high, you really shouldn’t. It’s best if the heat only transfers into the bowl through the steam; otherwise it can get quite a bit hotter than the gentle heat intended from a double boiler.

@@popefacto5945 nah if the water's touching it definitely gets hotter way quicker.
I love how he used that extra egg for the omelette and didn’t throw it away✌️
Chocolate is loveThe 🥰 chocolate Lava cake looks really delicious.I really like Lava cake, too.Thank you for the great recipe❤
Making a chocolate lava cake looks easier than I thought. Thanks for the recipe.
Loved the amount of mess you made - very realistic!!
Tried to make a big cake, it erupted and destroyed my entire town :/
Delicious tragedy D:
F
Does that mean you have cake all over your destroyed town? *Gets out fork"
1:28 Ah, yes. The Automatic Hang-Jangler.
The first 20 seconds already had me laughing more than I have for the past week XD

What happens if I use Battering-Ramekins instead of normal ones for the recipe?
Edit: My oven has been destroyed. Please help me YSAC it’s sentient
Why were you putting an oven in this recipe? It's dessert.
Not YSAC but might I suggest gasoline? That's always stopped any sentient being I don't want to deal with
That fucked up kitchen in the end made me laugh so hard
Howtobasic: Ha! Amateur.
i always thought they placed some other kind of chocolate in the middle so it would melt after baking it
The restaurant ones do. It's very distinct in flavor and if they didn't reheat it properly it's just a chunk of chocolate in the middle of warm cake.
@@Merennulli ohk

Would you mind binging my videos every few days?
We need your videos more consistently 😩 its such a treat
Prefer quality over quantity
The Mess.. The mess at the end!!!!.... Is why I love the dedication the these
I love this chocolate goodness
I tried this with ramekins that were too small that I also way overfilled and got an authentic volcano experience. 10/10 would make again
Finally, a desert geologists can actually see
Definitely have to dry to make this
I drought they are ever gonna see a better desert

Even he sounds more cheerful
For real right? It felt like I was not watching YSAC. Hope he is doing well.

That mixer setup was on point, YSAC!
That "double boiler" with the bowl not just touching the water but straight-up _floating around on it_ 😄
I had to stop the video at the word rewording for like 2 minutes to control myself again. Well played, Casy.
i'm always so genuinely happy when you upload💜💜
Your channel is like a mixture of How To Basic and Binging With Babish in the best way possible. Keep up the good work man.
0:57 Ah yes. I always bake while wrestling. This tip is very helpful!
Wait, have you actually made an undercooked chocolate cake as a lava cake...
Jon Favreau would like to have a word!
Rearranging the letters joke was gold!
thank you, deeply! this has been my favorite dessert since I was a few years old, pair it with some vanilla ice cream, raspberries and walnuts and it's the best thing to have graced earth!
I love it when you tell me I suck at cooking in song. Thank you.
A perfect blend of delicious and surreal.
i had already been planning on making lava cakes today when i saw that you posted this!!! your recipe was great, my lava cakes turned out wonderful
The best description of a ramekin ever
Great recipe, it was super simple and easy, and it turned out amazing!
Would recommend eating it with vanilla, or any other, ice cream.
Keep it up!!

This looks amazing
Instructions unclear, made an actual cake.
Best birthday gift ever!
Been years this still amazing.
He made a huge mess that takes forever to clean just for us. Love.
My mom makes the best chocolate lava cake in the world. I may have to try this to see if it can at least rival it though.
Gotta love how rather than abandoning the gimmick of hanging his whisk he stuck with it the whole video. Respect on that one
After subscribing for so long this is the first time I've hoped you had a set kitchen because oh God that was a mess
Omg I’ve been looking for you all day
looks disastrously delicious.
Look very delicious
1:46 I thought he was adding in beetroot and I forgot what we were making so I was just like.. okay beetroot I guess.
Beet lava cake..?!
Yo, brushing upwards on the ramican when buttering helps I've heard
Just made this, it works great as 4 mini cakes in a muffin tin if you dont have ramekins, 10/10 would recommend
