Description
A rich and decadent molten lava cake with a silky warm center that flows out when cut, perfect for dessert lovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins well with butter or nonstick spray and set them on a baking sheet.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together in short bursts, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until well blended. Stir the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until combined. Carefully fold in the flour and salt.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins and bake for about 12–14 minutes until the edges are set and centers look slightly jiggly.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for 1 minute. Invert the ramekins onto plates, dust with powdered sugar, and serve warm.
Notes
Serve immediately for the best molten center. Pairs well with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
