Chocolate Lava Cake Recipe

Baking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ramekins

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

   Melt the Chocolate and Butter

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

   Mix the Egg Mixture

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until pale and thick. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture and vanilla extract.

4. 4

   Combine with Flour

   Gently fold in the flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

5. 5

   Fill the Ramekins

   Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.

6. 6

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is soft.

7. 7

   Serve

   Let the cakes cool for 1 minute, then carefully invert them onto plates. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
