Chocolate lava cake is a decadent dessert that is made with a warm chocolate cake that has a molten chocolate center. It is often served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This recipe is easy to make and can be prepared in under 30 minutes.
Here are the ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the ramekins
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Here are the instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter.
- Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler or in the microwave.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the melted chocolate mixture.
- Sift the flour into the batter and mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still gooey.
- Let the cakes cool for a few minutes before inverting them onto serving plates. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Here are some tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
- Do not overbake the cakes, or the centers will be dry.
- Serve the cakes immediately for the best results.
