Volcanoes
- 1
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter (0.5 cup) until just melted.
- 2
Stir in the semisweet chocolate chips (1 cup) into the melted butter until smooth.
- 3
Whisk in the granulated sugar (1 cup) until the mixture is glossy and silky.
- 4
Beat in the eggs (3) one at a time, whisking well after each addition.

Sift together the all-purpose flour (0.5 cup), unsweetened cocoa powder (0.25 cup), and salt (0.25 tsp); fold into the batter until just combined.

Stir in the vanilla extract (1 tsp), milk (0.5 cup), and espresso powder (1 tsp) until batter is smooth.

Make the lava center
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream (0.5 cup) until just steaming. Remove from heat and whisk in the lava center chocolate chips (0.75 cup) until smooth and glossy.
- 8
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line 12 mini muffin cups with liners.

Spoon about 1/3 cup of batter into each liner. Add a generous teaspoon of lava center ganache in the center; cover with more batter to fill about 2/3 full.

Bake for 9-11 minutes, until edges are set and tops feel firm.

Cool for 2-3 minutes in the pan, then carefully invert each cake onto a plate to reveal molten centers.

Dust with powdered sugar or cocoa and serve warm, savoring the volcano eruption of lava.
