Ingredients:
- 1 cup (175g) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a muffin tin or ramekins with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the chocolate chips and butter over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Gently fold the egg mixture into the melted chocolate mixture until well incorporated.
- Sift the flour and salt together, then fold them into the chocolate mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups or ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still appear slightly undercooked.
- Remove the lava cakes from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of each cake to loosen them, then carefully invert them onto individual plates.
- Dust with powdered sugar (optional) and serve immediately, as the centers will continue to set as they cool.
