Chocolate Lava Cakes

These Chocolate Lava Cakes are the ultimate dessert for chocolate lovers, featuring a rich cake exterior with a molten chocolate center. They’re perfect for special occasions and surprisingly easy to make!


Ingredients (Serves 4):

  • 4 oz (115g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate (60-70% cocoa), chopped
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • Optional toppings: powdered sugar, whipped cream, fresh berries, or vanilla ice cream

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ramekins:

    • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
    • Grease 4 ramekins (6 oz each) generously with butter, and lightly dust with cocoa powder or flour. Tap out the excess.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter:

    • Combine the chopped chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl.
    • Melt over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Mix the Eggs and Sugar:

    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until thick and pale. This can be done by hand or with an electric mixer.
  4. Combine Mixtures:

    • Gradually whisk the melted chocolate into the egg mixture until smooth.
    • Gently fold in the flour until just combined.
  5. Fill the Ramekins:

    • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
  6. Bake:

    • Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes. The edges should be set, but the centers will remain soft and jiggly.
  7. Rest and Serve:

    • Let the cakes rest for 1-2 minutes. Run a knife around the edges, then carefully invert each ramekin onto a serving plate. Tap gently to release.
    • Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Tips and Variations:

  • Make Ahead: Prepare the batter and pour it into ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Bake directly from the fridge, adding 1-2 extra minutes to the baking time.
  • Flavored Centers: Place a square of chocolate, a dollop of peanut butter, or a truffle in the center of each ramekin for an added surprise.
  • Smaller Servings: Use smaller ramekins or muffin tins to create mini lava cakes.
