This Lava Cake is a rich and decadent chocolate dessert featuring a warm, gooey molten center. It’s perfect for special occasions or whenever you want an indulgent treat that combines a fudgy cake exterior with a luscious chocolate core.
Ingredients:
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup powdered sugar
2 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Butter and cocoa powder (for greasing ramekins)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and butter together, stirring until smooth.
Stir in powdered sugar until well blended.
Whisk in eggs and egg yolks until smooth.
Add flour and mix gently until just combined.
Divide batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.
Let the cakes cool for 1 minute, then carefully invert onto plates. Serve immediately.
