Chocolate Lava Cake Recipe

Chocolate Lava Cake Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

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

2. 2

   Melt Butter and Chocolate

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

3. 3

   Mix Sugar and Eggs

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

4. 4

   Combine Dry Ingredients

   Sift the flour and salt into the chocolate mixture, and gently fold until just combined.

5. 5

   Fill Ramekins

   Pour 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 still soft.

7. 7

   Cool and Serve

   Remove from the oven and let sit for 1 minute. Invert each ramekin onto a plate, and serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
