Chocolate Lava Cake Recipe

Baking Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

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

2. 2

   Melt Chocolate and Butter

   In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.

3. 3

   Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt.

4. 4

   Combine Ingredients

   Add the egg, egg yolks, and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture. Stir until well combined. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just mixed.

5. 5

   Fill Ramekins

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

6. 6

   Bake

   Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are firm but the center is soft.

7. 7

   Cool and Serve

   Remove from the oven and let them sit for 1 minute. Invert each ramekin onto a plate and gently lift off the ramekin. Serve immediately with vanilla ice cream.
