Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 120 grams powdered sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 30 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 grams butter (for greasing ramekins)
- 5 grams unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting ramekins)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Grease four ramekins (or small oven-safe cups) with butter, then dust them with unsweetened cocoa powder to prevent sticking. Set them aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the semi-sweet chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Add powdered sugar to the chocolate mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the eggs and egg yolks. Slowly mix them into the chocolate mixture, ensuring they are fully blended.
Stir in the vanilla extract, followed by the flour. Mix until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet for stability, then bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center will remain slightly jiggly for that molten texture.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them rest for 1-2 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges, then invert each onto a small plate for serving.
Optional: Top with a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Serve immediately for the best molten lava effect. Enjoy!
