Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Strawberry Filling
- In a bowl, combine chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside to macerate for about 10 minutes.
Make the Cake Batter
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Assemble and Bake
- Spoon a small amount of cake batter into each muffin cup, just enough to cover the bottom.
- Add a spoonful of the strawberry filling on top of the batter, then cover with more batter until the cups are about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Serve
- Allow the cakes to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin.
- Serve warm with whipped cream and sliced strawberries on top.

Notes
These lava cakes are best served immediately while the centers are still gooey.
