Chocolate Lava Cake Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with flour, shaking out the excess.

  2. 2

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

    In a medium saucepan, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt over low heat, stirring until smooth and combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Mix Sugar and Eggs

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks until well combined and slightly frothy.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring continuously. Then, add the all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until just combined.

  5. 5

    Fill Ramekins

    Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let sit for 1 minute. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate and serve immediately, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.
