Lava Cake Ingredients
Method
Lava Cake Directions
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
Mix Sugar and Eggs
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks until well combined and slightly frothy.
Combine Mixtures
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, then add the vanilla extract. Stir until just combined.
Add Flour
Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until no streaks remain.
Fill Ramekins
Divide the batter equally among the prepared ramekins.
Bake the Cakes
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.
