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:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter.
  2. Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler or in the microwave.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the melted chocolate mixture.
  4. Sift the flour into the batter and mix until just combined.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

Enjoy!
