SOURCE
Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Fresh berries or whipped cream, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease and lightly flour four 6-ounce ramekins or custard cups.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chopped chocolate together in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly thickened.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly until smooth and well incorporated.
Sift the flour and salt into the chocolate mixture, then gently fold them in until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven.
Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft and slightly jiggly.
Remove the lava cakes from the oven and let them cool in the ramekins for 1-2 minutes.
Carefully run a knife around the edges of each cake to loosen it from the ramekin.
Invert each cake onto a serving plate and gently tap the bottom to release it from the ramekin.
Dust the tops of the lava cakes with powdered sugar, if desired.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
Slice into the cakes with a spoon and watch the luscious molten chocolate center ooze out.
