Molten Lava Cakes

Ingredients

  • 10 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 6 oz Semisweet Chocolate Chips
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 3 Egg Yolks
  • 1½ c Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • ½ c All Purpose Flour
  • Cocoa Powder

Directions

Preheat oven to 420 Degrees F (215 C). Grease 6 ramekins with butter, then dust with cocoa powder and set aside.

Melt the chocolate chips and butter in a bowl in the microwave, it should take around 30-45 seconds. Stir until smooth.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and powdered sugar together for 2 minutes. Add the vanilla, melted chocolate and butter and whisk again until smooth.

Add the flour and gently whisk until combined.

Fill each ramekin about 2/3 of the way, then place on a cookie sheet','6. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the cake is baked on top but the center is still a little soft. Remove from the oven and let sit for 2 minutes.

Either serve the cakes in the ramekins, or if you want to plate them, carefully fun a small sharp knife around the edges of the ramekins and use a damp towel to grip them, and invert them onto plates. Optionally dust with powdered sugar and serve with berries. Serve hot.
