Before we dive into the recipe, let’s talk about the ingredients you’ll need to create this sinful delight:
- Dark chocolate
- Unsalted butter
- Granulated sugar
- Eggs
- All-purpose flour
- Caramel sauce
- Coarse sea salt
Now, let’s get baking!
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a muffin tin or individual ramekins with butter and cocoa powder. In a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate and butter until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Gently fold in the melted chocolate mixture and flour, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups or ramekins, filling them about two-thirds full. Carefully spoon a dollop of caramel sauce into the center of each cup, being careful not to let it touch the sides.
Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still jiggle slightly. Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute or two.
Carefully run a knife around the edges of each lava cake and invert onto a plate. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and serve immediately, while the caramel center is still deliciously molten.
Prepare to be transported to a world of pure indulgence with every bite of these Salted Caramel Lava Cakes. The perfect balance of rich chocolate, gooey caramel, and a hint of salt will have you savoring each heavenly mouthful.
