Chocolate Lava Cake
Equipment
- 8 ramekins
- double boiler pan (optional)
- mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 8 oz semisweet chocolate
- 1 cup (2 cubes) butter
- 7 eggs
- 6 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 cup flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Melt the chocolate and butter together. I like to use a double-boiler pan but you can use the microwave (I microwave it 10 seconds at a time, stir and repeat until fully melted).
- Cool for 10 minutes.
- Lightly grease the ramekins or baking cups. Tip: Use the white ones as the cake gets overdone if you use clear cups.
- In a mixing bowl, mix four (4) of the eggs with sugar. Whisk well.
- Add the flour, and whisk well again.
- Add the three (3) remaining eggs. Whisk well.
- Add the egg mixture to the chocolate mixture and mix well.
- Pour into the individual ramekins.
- Depending on your oven: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until just done.
- If at the 15 minute mark the top is cooked and cake-like , then it is done.
- The interior will be melting. Do not overcook, otherwise the inside will be too cake-like.
- Sprinkle with a little powdered sugar and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
- Garnish the ice cream with dark chocolate shavings for that extra special touch.
- Enjoy!
