Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 8 ounces high-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: Ice cream or whipped cream, for serving
- Optional: Fresh berries, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease and lightly flour individual ramekins or oven-safe bowls.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until smooth and fully melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar.
4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
5. Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth consistency.
6. Gently fold the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
8. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center should still be slightly jiggly.
9. Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes. Then, using oven mitts or a towel, carefully invert each ramekin onto a serving plate to release the lava cake.
10. Serve the decadent chocolate lava cakes immediately while still warm. Pair them with a scoop of your favorite ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For an elegant touch, garnish with fresh berries.
11. Indulge in the velvety, molten chocolate center as it oozes out, complementing the moist cake exterior. Let the intense chocolate flavor captivate your taste buds and savor each sinfully rich bite.
Note: Be cautious when consuming the lava cake, as the center will be hot. Allow it to cool slightly before enjoying.
