Ingredients:
To make molten lava cakes, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 4 ounces (115g) semi-sweet chocolate
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- ¼ cup (30g) powdered sugar
- ¼ cup (30g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Step-by-Step Recipe:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins and dust them with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
- Melt the Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate and butter together using a microwave or double boiler. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until frothy. Gradually fold in the melted chocolate mixture.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fill the Ramekins: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Bake: Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake for 12-14 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center will remain soft.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cakes to cool for 1-2 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen, then invert onto serving plates. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
