Chocolate Lava Cake

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Melt Butter and Chocolate

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

  3. 3

    Mix Sugar and Eggs

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, whisking continuously until fully combined.

  5. 5

    Add Flour and Salt

    Gently fold in the flour and a pinch of salt until just combined. Do not overmix.

  6. 6

    Fill Ramekins

    Pour the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.

  7. 7

    Bake

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

  8. 8

    Serve

    Let the cakes sit for 1 minute before inverting onto plates. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
