Lava Cake Ingredients

Method

Instructions

1

Prepare the Batter

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with flour. In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.

2

Mix Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until pale and fluffy. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture, then add the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt. Gently fold in the flour until just combined.

3

Bake

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place them on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.

4

Serve

Let the cakes cool for 1 minute, then carefully invert them onto plates. Serve immediately with a scoop of sea salt caramel gelato.
