Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in a well-deserved treat, this Chocolate Lava Cake is sure to become an instant favorite.
To embark on this delectable journey, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease four individual ramekins or oven-safe cups. In a double boiler or a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter together, stirring frequently until smooth and combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Gently fold in the melted chocolate mixture, flour, and salt until well incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins or cups, filling them about three-quarters full. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still appear slightly jiggly.
Remove the Chocolate Lava Cakes from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen them from the ramekins. Place a dessert plate on top of each ramekin and invert to release the cake.
Dust the warm Chocolate Lava Cakes with powdered sugar and serve immediately, allowing the rich, molten chocolate center to ooze out with each bite. Pair these decadent treats with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream for an unforgettable indulgence.
Prepare to be transported to a world of pure chocolate bliss as you savor every bite of this divine Chocolate Lava Cake. Indulge in the ultimate chocolate experience and create a memorable moment with loved ones, as you share this heavenly dessert together.
