Description
Indulge in these delightful homemade chocolate lava cakes with a rich, flowing chocolate center.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup high-quality chocolate, chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare your ramekins by greasing them and dusting with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
- Melt the butter and chocolate together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring occasionally until smooth.
- Whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar in another bowl until thick and pale.
- Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until just combined.
- Add the flour and salt, stirring until no dry bits remain.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-14 minutes. The edges should be firm while the centers remain soft.
- Cool for about a minute, then carefully invert onto plates and serve hot.
Notes
Serve with ice cream or garnish with fresh berries for an extra treat.
