Description

Chocolate lava cakes are a decadent dessert with a rich, molten chocolate center. These individual cakes are easy to prepare and perfect for a romantic dinner, holiday treat, or any occasion that calls for indulgence.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing ramekins
  • 6 oz (170g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp (15g) all-purpose flour
  • Cocoa powder, for dusting ramekins

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease 4 ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder. Tap out any excess cocoa.
  2. Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
    • In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and butter. Melt over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  3. Prepare the Batter:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until pale and thick, about 1-2 minutes.
    • Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.
    • Sift the flour into the batter and fold until just combined.
  4. Fill the Ramekins:
    • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about ¾ full. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet for easy handling.
  5. Bake:
    • Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are soft and jiggly.
  6. Serve:
    • Let the cakes rest for 1 minute, then carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen. Invert each ramekin onto a plate and gently lift it off.
    • Serve immediately, dusted with powdered sugar, and garnish with berries, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • To make ahead, refrigerate the unbaked batter in the ramekins for up to 1 day. Bring to room temperature before baking.
  • Ensure not to overbake, as the center will lose its molten texture.
  • Substitute dark chocolate with milk chocolate for a sweeter version, or use bittersweet chocolate for a richer flavor.
