Description

Learn how to make an easy and decadent chocolate lava cake dessert at home. This recipe features a rich chocolate cake with a warm, gooey molten center, perfect for any occasion. Impress your guests with this restaurant-style treat that’s surprisingly simple to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Cocoa powder (for dusting ramekins)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter and dust them with cocoa powder.
  3. Combine butter and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until frothy.
  5. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring continuously.
  6. Gently fold in the flour, vanilla extract, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.
  8. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are firm and the center is soft.
  9. Let cool for about 5 minutes.
  10. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate to serve.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Watch the cakes closely to avoid overbaking; the center should remain soft.
  • Serve warm for the best molten effect.
  • Experiment with adding espresso powder or orange liqueur for flavor variations.
  • Ensure ramekins are well-greased and dusted to prevent sticking.
