Recipe information

Make Chocolate Lava Cake in just 30m. Warm chocolate cake with a gooey center.

Preparation

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the lava cakes.

2. Prepare Ramekins

Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter and dust them lightly with flour. This will help the cakes release easily after baking.

Making the Batter

3. Melt Chocolate and Butter

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

4. Whisk Eggs and Sugar

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the large eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.

5. Combine Mixtures

Pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Stir until fully combined.

6. Add Flour

Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Baking

7. Fill Ramekins

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

8. Bake

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

9. Cool Slightly

Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool for 1 minute. Run a knife around the edges to loosen, then invert onto plates.

Serving

10. Plate and Serve

Serve the warm chocolate lava cakes immediately, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, fresh raspberries, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
