Lava Cake

Ice Cream

Optional Garnish

Method

Prepare Lava Cake

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Melt Butter and Chocolate

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and bittersweet chocolate together over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture and stir until just combined.

  5. 5

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract to the batter. Mix until smooth and well combined.

  6. 6

    Prepare Ramekins

    Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with flour to prevent sticking.

  7. 7

    Fill Ramekins

    Pour the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins, filling them about 2/3 full.

  8. 8

    Bake

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

  9. 9

    Cool

    Remove from oven and let them cool for 1 minute before inverting onto plates.

Serve

  1. 10

    Scoop Ice Cream

    While the lava cakes are cooling, scoop the vanilla ice cream into bowls.

  2. 11

    Add Lava Cake

    Invert the warm lava cakes onto the plates and serve immediately alongside the scoops of ice cream.

  3. 12

    Garnish (Optional)

    If desired, dust the lava cakes with powdered sugar and add fresh berries on the side for a beautiful presentation.
