Lava Cake Recipe: An Incredible Ultimate Delight for 2


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 12 minute

Ingredients

– ½ cup unsalted butter
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 2 large eggs
– 2 large egg yolks
– ¼ cup granulated sugar
– 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
– Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving (optional)


Instructions

Creating this Lava Cake is straightforward. Follow these steps to achieve the perfect molten center:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease two ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder.
2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
3. Whisk Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
4. Combine Ingredients: Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring until well combined.
5. Add Flour and Salt: Gently fold in the flour and salt until just combined.
6. Fill Ramekins: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins, filling each about ¾ full.
7. Bake: Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.
8. Cool Slightly: Allow the cakes to cool for 5 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen them, then invert onto plates.
9. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Sprinkle with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.

These steps will guide you in creating a delicious Lava Cake with a gooey center that will wow your guests!
