Raspberry White Chocolate Lava Cakes

Today I have a recipe for raspberry white chocolate lava cakes to share with you for Valentine’s Day, or any other special occasion, even “just because”! This cake has a nice, light and fluffy outside and the centre is filled with melted/molten raspberry white chocolate that just gushes out when you cut into it! You might think that this would be a complex recipe but it’s actually super easy with only one batter that bakes into the cake with the solid outside and liquid inside! The base of this cake is white chocolate, butter, sugar, eggs and a bit of flour along with raspberries! The baking time is the magic here, where you bake it until the outside has baked into a solid cake but the inside is still liquid. It’s actually pretty easy to time it perfectly, you want to bake it until the edges look baked, lightly golden brown and the middle of the top looks like it’s still a little moist and it still jiggles a bit. You want to serve it soon after pulling it out of the oven so that the middle remaining nice and liquid! Whether you are making these raspberry white chocolate lava cakes for someone special on Valentine’s Day or “just because”, they are sure to impress and nobody needs to know how easy they are to make!

Note: YOu see three different batches in these photos, one with half as much raspberries (the paler one), one exactly as the recipe is written and one with 2 drops of red food colouring (the dark red one).
