Chocolate Lava Cake Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Oven

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

2. 2

   Melt Chocolate and Butter

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

3. 3

   Mix Dry Ingredients

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

4. 4

   Combine Ingredients

   Add the egg, egg yolks, and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture. Whisk until well combined. Then, fold in the dry ingredients until just mixed.

5. 5

   Fill Ramekins

   Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each 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

   Cool and Serve

   Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 minute. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
