CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE
Need an easy, creamy, and decadent chocolate dessert? Try this chocolate lava cake. It's flourless and rises up while baking, almost like a souffle. Inside the super-soft cake is an oozing chocolate center that's rich and delicious. Serve with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream and a few berries.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease and flour one large 6-cup muffin or cupcake pan or six (3/4- to 1-cup capacity) ramekins or custard cups.
- Microwave chocolate and butter for 2 minutes, or until the butter is melted. Stir and heat again until chocolate is melted completely and both are combined.
- Stir in egg yolks, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and port. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a bowl, combine the remaining sugar and cocoa.
- In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy.
- Gradually add about 2 tablespoons of the sugar and cocoa, beating until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the chocolate and sugar-cocoa mixtures into the egg whites in three alternating additions.
- Pour batter into the pan and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges will be firm, but the centers will be a bit liquid. Cool 3 minutes before serving.
- Run a knife around the edges. Invert onto serving plates and top with ice cream or a dusting of confectioners' sugar.
