chocolate molten lava cakes
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup butter
- 4 squares semi-sweet baking chocolate (4 ounces)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 whole eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 6 Tablespoons all-purpose flour or gluten-free baking blend
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Grease 4 six-ounce ramekins with butter and set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl add the butter and chocolate. Microwave on high until the butter melts and the chocolate starts to soften, about 1 minute.
- Mix the chocolate and butter together until no lumps remain. If you need to microwave it a bit longer you can.
- Add powdered sugar and stir to combine.
- Add the eggs and egg yolks and stir to combine.
- Add the flour and stir to make a thick batter.
- Place the batter in the prepared ramekins. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet to easily move them in and out of the oven.
- Place the baking sheet and ramekins in the oven. Bake for 12-13 minutes until the edges are set and the center is soft (but it won’t be glossy or super jiggly).
- Let the cakes rest for 2 minutes and then invert them onto a serving plate.
- Serve right away with freshly whipped cream and berries or vanilla ice cream.
NOTES
- A 4 cup glass Pyrex measuring cup is the perfect size to make the batter in and then you have a nice little lip to pour from too.
- If you don’t have semi-sweet baking chocolate you can substitute good quality chocolate chips (it’ll be just over ½ cup of chocolate chips). I like the Guittard brand of semi-sweet and extra dark chocolate chips for this recipe.
- You make need to run a thin knife around the edge of the cake (between the cake and the ramekin) before you invert them on a serving plate.
- If you have a hard time getting the cakes out of the ramekins you can always serve them in them.
