Indulging in a warm, gooey chocolate lava cake with a molten center is easier than you think! This simple recipe yields restaurant-quality results in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients:
4 oz dark chocolate, chopped
4 tbsp unsalted butter
2 large eggs
2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
Butter and cocoa powder for ramekins
Steps:
1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Butter 2-3 ramekins and dust with cocoa powder, tapping out excess.
2. Melt Chocolate & Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, and salt until thick and pale (about 2 minutes).
4. Combine: Fold the melted chocolate into the egg mixture, then gently fold in flour until just incorporated (do not overmix).
5. Bake: Divide batter between ramekins. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are firm but the center jiggles slightly.
6. Serve: Let cool for 1 minute, then run a knife around the edges and invert onto plates. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with vanilla ice cream or fresh berries.
Tip: For an extra-rich twist, add a teaspoon of instant espresso powder to the chocolate mixture. Enjoy your decadent, homemade lava cake!
