Decadent Chocolate Lava Cake

30 minutes • Medium

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 oz good quality dark chocolate (chopped)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease and flour two 6-ounce ramekins.
  2. Melt butter and chocolate together in a microwave or double boiler until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually whisk in the melted chocolate mixture.
  4. Gently fold in the flour and salt until just combined. Divide batter evenly between the prepared ramekins.
  5. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft and jiggly. Invert onto plates and serve immediately.
