Preparation Time: 15 minutes


Cooking Time: 12 minutes


Resting Time: 5 minutes


Total Time: 32 minutes


Serving: 4

Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter


- 4 ounces (115g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped


- 2 large eggs


- 2 large egg yolks


- 1/4 cup (50g) sugar


- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour


- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


- Pinch of salt

Method:

- Preheat Oven and Prepare Molds:

- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.

- Melt Chocolate and Butter:

- In a double boiler over simmering water, melt the chocolate and butter together until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

- Whisk Eggs and Sugar:

- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until thick and pale. Mix in the vanilla extract.

- Combine Ingredients:

- Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Then sift in the flour and salt, gently folding until just combined.

- Bake:

- Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is soft.

- Serve:

- Let the cakes rest for 5 minutes out of the oven. Carefully invert each onto a plate, and serve immediately to enjoy the molten center.

Notes:

- The key to perfect lava cakes is not overbaking; the center should be quite soft when taken out of the oven.


- Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or fresh berries for added flavor and presentation.
