2. Ingredients for Chocolate Lava Cakes

  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 6 oz. bittersweet chocolate (finely chopped)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (115g per 1/2 cup)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (66g per 1/3 cup)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (35g per 1/4 cup)
  • 1/8 tsp. salt

3. Directions:

3.1 Preheat

Preheat the oven to 325°F.

3.2 Prep

Spray four 4 oz. ramekins thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray and transfer to a baking sheet. Set aside.

3.3 Microwave

Place the chopped chocolate and butter in a large microwave-safe mixing bowl. Microwave on high in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for at least 5 minutes.

3.4 Prep

Add the sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture. Whisk gently until the eggs are fully combined and the mixture is smooth. Sift the flour and salt into the bowl, and continue whisking until just combined.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins.

3.5 Oven

Bake the cakes on middle rack of oven until the edges are set, and a slightly darker, quarter-sized wobbly spot remains in the center, 11-13 minutes.

3.6 Check

Check to see that cakes are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

3.7 Serve

Allow the cakes to cool in the ramekins for 1-2 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of each cake and invert onto serving plates. Serve immediately, while still very warm.
