Chocolate Molten Lava Cake

Ingredients

• 150 g dark chocolate
• 100 g butter
• 2 eggs
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 tbsp flour
• 100 g sugar

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease 4 ramekins generously with butter and dust with a little flour or cocoa powder to prevent sticking.

2. 2

   Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water (or in the microwave in bursts). Stir until smooth.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar together until the mixture is pale and thick.

4. 4

   Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.

5. 5

   Sift in the flour and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.

6. 6

   Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.

7. 7

   Bake for 12-14 minutes. The sides should be firm, but the center should still be soft and jiggly.

8. 8

   Remove from oven and let stand for 1 minute. Carefully invert each cake onto a small plate and serve immediately.
