Molten Lava Cake

6 ingredients
7 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 8 ounces semisweet chocolate or 8 ounces dark chocolate
  • 100 g sugar
  • 50 g flour
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 200-210°C (400°C). Grease or butter ramekins. Make sure you use a lot of butter/oil if you want to invert it onto a plate, otherwise it will stick.
  2. 2
    Melt the butter and chocolate together and mix. Pour into a big bowl.
  3. 3
    Sieve in the flour and sugar and whisk.
  4. 4
    Add the eggs and continue to whisk. If you like a more cake-y texture, keep on whisking until it turns lighter.
  5. 5
    Pour into ramekins. It took up around 8 ramekins for me, but it really depends on the size.
  6. 6
    Bake for around 10 minutes. It's best to keep an eye on it just to make sure it doesn't overcook. If it does, it's just a really moist cake, good but not quite as satisfying.
  7. 7
    Serve with ice cream and strawberries. Or banana. A good idea can be to chop fruit beside it and use the filling as a sort of fondue.
