Recipes Choco Lava Cake

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease four ramekins with butter. Place them on a baking sheet and set aside.

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Let it cool slightly.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until well combined.

4. Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture while whisking constantly. Make sure the chocolate isn't too hot to avoid scrambling the eggs.

5. Add the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt to the chocolate mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.

6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place the ramekins on the baking sheet in the preheated oven.

7. Bake the lava cakes for about 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them.

8. Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges of the cakes to loosen them.

9. Invert each ramekin onto a dessert plate to release the lava cake. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately. For an extra indulgence, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
