"Craving something irresistible? Our molten chocolate lava cake delivers a hot, gooey center that melts your heart with every bite."



Ingredients

For Cake:

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter (plus extra for greasing)
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (15g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For serving 

  • powder sugar 
  • vanilla ice cream 

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425F. This high temperature is crucial for achieving that perfect molten center. 
  2. Grease four 4-ounce ramekins with butter and dust them lightly with flour or cocoa powder. This will help the cakes release easily after baking. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet for easy handling.
  3. Combine the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate in a double boiler. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. If you don’t have a double boiler, you can melt the mixture in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted.
  4. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until pale and slightly thickened. This should take about 2-3 minutes.   
  5.
